Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vaniya Nair/Vaniya chettiar
|Poorly-sourced article with no indication of |notability. Vaniya Chettiar already exists, and Google Books/News throw up zero results for "Vaniya Nair". Google Scholar has https://search.proquest.com/openview/ad613b03008b782356d026d409348f93/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=18750&diss=y - an unpublished thesis with trivial mentions. The sources cited in the article are not adequate either. http://dutchinkerala.com/article19.php?id=06 - Trivial mention of "Vaniya Nair" - not enough to establish notability; the source doesn't mention that it's a "sub-caste". https://telijansamaj.weebly.com/religion-and-caste.html - Mentions the term "Vaniya Chettiar", on which an article already exists; also a weebly page is not a reliable source. The creator states that https://archive.org/stream/LettersFromMalabar_201601/Letters-from-Malabar_djvu.txt mentions the term, but I couldn't find it -- added a 'page number needed' tag. The following sources don't mention the terms "Vaniya Nair" and "Vaniya Chettiar": http://teliindia.com/news.php?newsid=51&title=Kaheliyan%20%7BGanchi%20,%20Rathore%7D%20Teli%20Samajhttp://www.thekeralatemples.com/templeinfo/bhagavathy/karivellur_muchilottukavu.htmhttps://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kozhikode/Community-groups-donning-political-colours-in-Malabar/articleshow/46682936.cms?from=mdrhttp://www.academia.edu/9748815/Migration_of_the_people_of_Saurashtra_Lata_towards_South_after_the_fall_of_thehttp://vaniyamarriagebureau.com/about.php (and most of these don't pass  guidelines
