message: yes i also consider that chourasia are te Brahmin community  .Now this community is in  different profession which diverted them from brahmins to vaisya(traders), but actually they are brahmins only. They are like Sharma in north region.

message: I agree that almost all of the previous references were bad. However, if we could get actual copies/details, I wonder if three might be worth saving: The Rai of eastern Nepal, ethnic and linguistic grouping:findings of the Linguistic Survey of Nepal appears to be created by a university; Ethnologue is, I believe, reliable for linguistic information, and this link verified that Chaurasia is an alternative name for Wambule; and this appears at least slightly possibly useful. I don't know what, exactly, we would do with that, though.... Qwyrxian (talk) 10:11, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: I can see only the Ethnologue link. This gives a long list of synonyms for Wambule, viz. Ambule, Chaurasia, Chaurasya, Chourase, Chourasia, Ombule, Tsaurasya, Umbule. It seems to me that we probably need to create a bunch of redirects to Wambule and that this article should also be redirected there. - Sitush (talk) 09:36, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: I dont know why you have diverted the Chaurasia's to "Barai". What all information i have posted and which was there few months before is true and what you are mentioning is not at all the complete information about "Chaurasia" community.
You search different FB pages and discuss in detail with the Chaurasia throught out the country as this is a big community with various brahmin gotras and then write.
It would be good if you update the right information which i have posted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashishid (talk • contribs) 
:Hi Ashishid. THe problem is that Wikipedia articles must be based on Reliable Sources. That usually means things like scholarly journal articles, books by scholarly researchers, newspaper articles, or similar things. Facebook posts, blogs, self-published books, and things like that aren't reliable for our purposes, and thus we can't use them. If you can find reliable sources that discuss the Chaurasia, we can consider changing this back from being a redirect, but, up until now, no one has ever been able to reliably show that this is a separate group. So if you can find those sources, please post them here and we can examine the issue. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:25, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure; if you find the RS, I'd be happy to help format and get the info into the article. Just post here what you find and I or others can advise. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:44, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

text: Neither of those are reliable sources. And, unfortunately, your suggestion that we go based on what people themselves say is not allowed per Wikipedia policy--we cannot do original resource, and instead must include only verifiable information. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:39, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

text: If you look at Barai, you'll see that there is a reliable source that says that they are the same group under a different name. If you look at Brahmin, you'll see that claim there is unsourced. I'd much rather redirect to the one we have a source for. As for books, it depends on who the publisher and author are and what it says; but please provide the information than we can evaluate it.

thread_title:  Chaurasia is not updated with the right information. 

message: This page should be speedy deleted as pure vandalism or a blatant hoax, because... (Chaurasia is other name od Barai and article is already present on wikipedia. The entire article is unreferenced and contains false information like "Chaurasia is a Brahmin community.") --Yoonadue (talk) 10:49, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It redirects to the Barai article. There was a temporary problem that has now been resolved. - Sitush (talk) 12:23, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
