The article has one source (A Glossary of the tribes & castes of Punjab) but I cannot find any other sources in English (this Sangi clan is actually about an unrelated Bantu tribe) and an Urdu search of the name "سانگی‎" does not turn up anything related to this tribe either. This is an unfortunate victim of worldview bias as a result of lack of reliable sources, but alas the article fails WP:GNG with only one reliable source and it does not look like passing any other notability guideline. — MarkH21 (talk) 06:31, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

H. A. Rose is certainly not a reliable source. His works were produced for the British Raj for the purposes of its divide and rule policy, and were based on the discredited doctrine of scientific racism. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:44, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Then even less evidence for notability! — MarkH21 (talk) 17:24, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes. Quite so. I suppose I'd better say delete in bold just in case the discussion closer doesn't realise my intent. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:35, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
