Are gotras notable? I think not. Seems to me this should be either deleted or merged into Yadav. Orange Mike | Talk 00:56, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. I agree with the nominator, I don't think the subject is notable, or at least has the resources to verify that it is. Supporting a merge to either List of gotras or Yadav, whichever is more appropriate.--hkr Laozi speak 07:51, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. In answer to the nominator's question, it seems that some gotras would be what would have been classified by Western anthropolists as ethnic groups or tribes, which I would consider notable, and others are what would, from that perspective, be called extended families, which usually wouldn't be notable. I'm not going to express an opinion on this particular group, because my past experience has shown that such articles are a bugger to find English-language sources for, often relying on sources such as the rather dubiously reliable nineteenth-century A Glossary Of The Tribes And Castes Of The Punjab And North-West Frontier Province by H. A. Rose (deliberately redlinking because we should have articles). Phil Bridger (talk) 19:38, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
