[edit] List of Nair Tharavadus

A completely unsourced and unverifiable article that tries to list families belonging to the Nair caste of Hinduism. There are thousands of such families in Kerala, and hence it is totally un-encyclopedic to have such a listing. Moreover, Wikipedia is not a genealogical database. thunderboltz^(Deepu) 07:19, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment—message left with various editors of article in hope of brilliant rewrite which saves this. Lacking such improvement, consider this a vote to delete per nom. Williamborg (Bill) 06:43, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The article contains various details on families which are just POVs...as said totally unencylcopecic even historically...perhaps the 600 original families shoulc be listed rather that these thousands- bhargav—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.144.105.125 (talk • contribs).
• Delete as per the nominator. It has curiousity value, though, and may be moved to the user space of the creator(s). Tintin (talk) 08:11, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

• Do not delete:This provides an excellent opportunity for people around the world to gather info and in future could be expanded to help understand the history of their own families. can't understand what is wrong with it.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Krishnap13 (talk • contribs) .

• Comment: As I said at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Ezhava Tharavads, Wikipedia has a big problem with inordinately long lists of redlink family names in Indian castes. I'm all for trying to solve the problem, but it's one with a lot of work and resistance attached. Additionally, I confess: I actually gave up on notability checking Indian caste list pages a long time ago. It seems like an almost insurmountable task that would just incur the wrath of scores of vanity posters. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 17:25, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - If it were possible to actually verify and source these claims, then it would be possible to have a page. But I guess the task is next to impossible. --Vivin Paliath (വിവി൯ പാലിയത്) 16:06, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
