Nomination of Guite people for deletion

[edit]
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Guite people is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Guite people until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

It is alleged that this clan fails WP:GNG, and the sources in use require review by a WP:GSCASTE expert. No comments by other users directly address this concern. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:43, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From a cursory glance sources such as Shakespear, John (1912), Bertram Sausmarez Carey and Henry Newman Tuck (1896) and Shaw, William (1929) should be discarded per WP:RAJ and for being severely outdated. Lalthangliana, B's master thesis should also be discarded unless proven to have had a significant scholarly influence per WP:SCHOLARSHIP. Rest, I do not have access to, so I cannot evaluate them. - Ratnahastin (talk) 04:57, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

There seems to be a new editor (at least on South Asia related pages), user:Van00220, who seems to be employing a very dubious mix of mostly Raj-era census sources and a few less controversial (but hardly contemporary) sources to create large, unsightly, census tables and then to plaster this mix of what at least to me appears to be WP:OR and WP:SYNTHESIS, on dozens, if not hundreds, of pages. I tried to reason with them on their user talk page, but received a very generic reply. As far as I am aware—the awareness forged in the crucible of writing some caste-related articles with user:Sitush—this sort of thing is a no-no on South Asia-related pages; otherwise, dozens of editors would have already done it, their efforts not being thwarted over the 18 years that I have been watching South Asia on WP. That these tables are outlandishly large does not help either. Pinging some administrators and old South Asia hands. @Bishonen, RegentsPark, Vanamonde93, Abecedare, TrangaBellam, Joshua Jonathan, Kautilya3, and Sitush: Fowler&fowler«Talk» 11:48, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is also Wigglebuy579579 who has been adding tables of demographic data from the pre-independence era into many articles especially those related to social groups [1][2][3]. - Ratnahastin (talk) 11:54, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
