Again, the Dom -> Rom theory is based on a supposed name connection (while there are plenty of such possibilities  of connections with words from the Subcontinent) and on a supposed connection between Domba's low status and the anti-Romani prejudices. Scientifc studies presented reasons for its' lack of substance and for the Rajput ancestry. Some supporters of Dom -> Rom reorganized later their theory, by including the points raised against its likeliness, by presenting the Ḍom as a cover-term for itinerant service-providing castes and the three group as originating in different areas within India, speaking different (albeit related) Indian languages, and probably leaving the Subcontinent at different times, taking different routes. It is too bad for Y. Matras dismissing, as always, the scientific approach as ""fantastic politically-inspired mythology"" and his opinion based on a mere resemblance of prejudices as the mainstream. I presented the evolution in time of the two theories, but I see that he deleted most of the scientific results (which btw inspired later the supporters of Dom -> Rom to make some adjustments in order to keep looking reliable). The Wikipedia is based on consensus, so you can't have your separate page (try it on your userpage). Also I'm giving you a warning for breaching WP:3RR. Next time you will revert in 24h it will be likely to receive a block. And I want to point out the presumptuos style of addresing of this user.  "
