[edit] Khanabadosh

Khanabadosh (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Found this in the WP:WIKIFY, not quite sure on notability so I'll let the community decide on this one. BuickCenturyDriver (Honk, contribs, odometer) 23:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Roma people? Seems to be the local name for them in Pakistan based on my Google books search (see Massey India's Kathak Dance pp 123-124; on the other hand, this is contradicted by Berland et al Customary Strangers p239 which claims it's the name for another group called Qalandar, who are not related to Qalandariyah Sufi mystics, and Atal Sociology and Social Anthropology in Asia and the Pacific who claims it's the name for yet a third group, Kanjar). The organisation itself mentioned on the page is pretty clearly non-notable, and even if it weren't, an article about it shouldn't be squatting on the name of an ethnic group. cab 01:26, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The organization (Khanabadosh Research & Exploration Society) doesn't seem to meet WP:ORG. Redirect per cab, if necessary. utcursch | talk 05:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Pakistan-related deletions. --   ⇒ bsnowball  09:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable organization that fails WP:ORG. Also fails WP:RS. I'd advise against redirecting if the term is ambiguous. Maybe recreating as a disambiguation page with links to the three demographics listed by cab is the best option here. Caknuck 05:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
