- Keep. Sourcing problems aside, Indian/Pakistani caste names should be notable per se in my opinion. — kashmiri TALK 16:15, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - All these caste name related pages are just of 3 to 4 lines or maximum or paragraph or so. There are also no references available to present the information. If needed for the names to be recorded in the encyclopedia. All such articles can be put under an article something like List of India castes or something like that.
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete - WP:GNG - Subject is not supported by significant reliable sources. I could not find any decent online sources using a Google search. -- Taketa (talk) 09:33, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Note, however, that we already have a Maratha, of which I take this is a variant- or mis-spelling. That article makes this one superfluous, since is somply one of many castes that extended across the subcontinent.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:26, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as this has been a common occurrence where it's completely unsourced and barely and contents, this is not acceptable and thus would be best restarted. SwisterTwister talk 18:52, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
