I went through Google search and the article itself. It also fails WP:GNG to be kept as a standalone article. The only source, which is cited there is also a WP:RAJ era source, which is not considered WP:RS for caste related articles.-Admantine123 (talk) 06:39, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless someone can persuade me otherwise. I have tidied up the single reference. I think it valuable to have coverage of 19th century Indian tribes castes and descriptions of them at that time but this needs to be put in a reasonably current context and not solely from an imperial point of view. I think this article does not succeed. It also seems the coverage is insufficient in notability terms. Thincat (talk) 08:44, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
