Reason Lindamd90 (talk) 06:40, 15 March 2011 (UTC) The article for the caste Shanar or Nadar already exists(Nadar). The Nadar article is more appropriate and properly referenced. I kindly ask the wikipedia editors to remove this article which contains no references at all. It is also redundant to have two articles on wikipedia about the same caste. Thank you.Lindamd90 (talk) 06:40, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and merge any useful content to Nadar, per nom. Casual Googling suggests that this article's title is another word for the aforementioned article, and the aforementioned article is in vastly better shape. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 08:36, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to remind the admins that the Saanar article is fraught with original research and looks more like a blog. It is not at all encyclopedic. The article doesnt contain anything useful or true. Thank you.Lindamd90 (talk) 11:03, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect' to Nadar - no need to delete. --Cerebellum (talk) 15:30, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it is pronounced 'Shanar'. Not 'Saanar'. The title itself is wrong.Lindamd90 (talk) 15:48, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect' to Nadar - "Saanar" is the valid pronunciation (There is no "Sha" in original Tamil, it is written using a grantha character) Sanaar is written as ”சாணார்” and pronounced as such by a lot of people--Sodabottle (talk) 11:03, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
