Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dappaankuthu
See Mohiniaattam That is a form of dance like the subject of this article. That article does not have any references. But that has not been listed as OR or called unencyclopedic. The reason is because Wikipedian editors know about that dance and hence do not ask for a reference. But this form of dance is being practicised by the Illiterate masses. Hence this immediately becomes "unencyclopedic". When references are cited, it will become "non-notable" while Mohiniattam will continue to be both encyclopedic as well as notable..... This is what is called as  | Systemic Bias My comments are just to highlight the fact that we have not still eliminated the Systemic Bias from Wikipedia, and even though this is considered to be an Encyclopedia, Wikipedia is turning out to be the domain of "few selected people". And this trend is not good for the project and will be detrimental to the Wikipedia in long run
