Delete The article is only one sentence long, reading more like a dictionary entry than an encyclopedia's, and there are no sources cited at all.TH1980 (talk) 23:24, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - have recently checked JSTOR, Sage, Oxford Journals, Cambridge Core, Project Muse, Taylor & Francis - not a word about this community. In the past, I have tried unsuccessfully using books I have here plus, of course, via GBooks. It may possibly be an alternate spelling for Adigal but there is no mention of that as a community and I base the theory on the variant name spellings of people such as Ilango Adigal and Maraimalai Adigal. It is possible that the community does exist as one of the Ambalavasi groups (not Nambudiri, which is a pretty tight and well-studied community) but there are hundreds of those groups, many little more than one or two families. - Sitush (talk) 23:51, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Going by the apparent lack of sourcing and Sitush's analysis of what this is, it really doesn't seem notable enough for an article. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:59, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
