Panghal

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Seems to fail WP:GNG. There is another clan called the Pangal, who have had disputes with the Meitei people (see here), but that is not offered as an alternate spelling and I suspect that the pronunciation might be different. Bhim Singh Dahiya, for whom we once had an article, seems to mention them in passing ([1]) but he is known to be a pseudo-historian. Other than that, my checks at GBooks, JSTOR, news sources etc are only returning mirrors and unreliable British Raj sources. The same applies to my own personal library of caste-related books.

Delete per outcomes of other similar AfDs: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barhiya, etc. Completely unreferenced. The nom might want to list several at one time if there are more of these. K.e.coffman (talk) 08:43, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Another clan article. The page belongs to Category:Jat clans, or one of its subcategories. All the pages of these categories lack the very basic notability guidelines. Failure WP:GNG. Must be deleted per WP:NOT. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 05:00, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
