Talk:List of Kayasthas

message: Please keep in mind WP:VERIFY when adding names to the list: Only people with Wikipedia articles should be listed here, and only those who are mentioned to belong to the Kayastha caste on their own article. Since his alleged Kayastha-hood is not mentioned on Sen's article, Vr is right in removing the addition until evidence is cited. Anonymous editor, please be aware of WP:CITE, and try to be polite and argue your case here on the talkpage. If you persist, I will semi-protect the article and/or block you from editing. thanks, dab (ᛏ) 08:55, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This list is completely unsourced. More often than not, the respective biography article in Wikipedia doesn't support inclusion in this list, let alone give a reference.
Are there any talkers for a massive referencing effort or should the list just be deleted?

message: If you look at the main artcle on Kayasthas you will find the differenr surnames used byKayasthas in different parts of India.It is therefore misleading to say that the artcle is unsourced-after all this list is a part of the main article.(Vr 11:29, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: By thw ay I looked at www.kayastha.org the link is provided in the main article on Kayasthas.After reading that you will not be in a position to say the JC Bose was not a Kayastha.(Vr 11:42, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: http://www.kayastha.org isn't a reliable source for purposes of WP:V and WP:RS. Citing a published (printed) biography would be best. --Pjacobi 15:29, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

message: If this gets nominated for deletion, it will presumably fail for the same reason as list of Nairs and list of Rajputs, ie a mixture of unverfiability and alleged "indiscriminateness" and being "a directory." Kappa 06:26, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Per our policies regarding notability, it is necessary that statements are verifiable to multiple independent sources. Certainly in a case where there may be an issue relating to how living people are identified, I think that it is desirable to enforce it.
I am also of the view that all names should be blue-linked, in order to have some sort of wider test/scrutiny for notability. In other words, all names in this article should have their own articles also. It is easy to find "passing mentions" of people (any people, not just alleged Kayasthas) but that does not make them notable.
In addition, possession of a name that is claimed by Kayasthas is insufficient. As an example of the problems that can arise, the name "Nair" is claimed by the Nairs, but there are thousands of people in Scotland who bear that name and have got no closer connection to India than their local curry house or whatever. It simply is not good enough. - Sitush (talk) 08:27, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
