WP:TNT The article currently presents no reliable third-party sources to justify its content, futher (as seen in article history) this is a WP:COATRACK of three separate topics Mannadiar (redirects here now): a Nair title, Mannadiyar a caste in Kerala (which this article started as) and Mandradiar: a Kongu Vellalar title (which this article has been hijacked into). Considering the edit wars and kerffufle which the conflation of these three distinct topics has resulted into here i.e. a poor article with no legs to stand on, this should be blown up. Anyone who wants to make an article on any of these topics should start anew (better be with a disambiguating title). Gotitbro (talk) 20:21, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

• Delete. I'm not convinced that any of these possible topics are notable, so I'm not sure this is a WP:TNT delete so much as a regular-old "it just isn't a notable topic" delete. Existing similar articles we have (eg Madampi (Nair title)) tend to be very poorly sourced. I've seen several of these come through AfC and don't believe I've ever seen one accepted. They end up being fought over by various POV-pushing editors, to no obvious end. If someone has seen otherwise, please ping me, I'd love to know. I know our notability guidelines tend towards "typically topics like x are found to be notable" rather than "typically topics like y are found to not be notable", but... -- asilvering (talk) 22:04, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
