thread_title: Maharishi is Varma not Shrivastava

message: User:Siddharthmukund contributed the following, but I have moved it here from the article as it needs clarification and sources. 
Shrivastavas are descendants of Shree Shribhanu (Srivastava), who was a son of Mata Nandini (Dakshina). Shree Shribhanu's rashi name was Dharamdwaj. Maharaj Chitraguptji sent Shree Shribhanu to establish a Kingdom in the Shrivaas (Srinagar) region in Kashmir and Kandhar. He was married to Nagaraj Vaasuki’s daughter Devi Padmini and two divine sons named Shree Devdatta and Shree Ghanshyam were born. Shree Devdatta got the rulership over Kashmir and Shree Ganshyam got the rulership over the banks of Sindhu river. They were called Srivastava ‘Khare’ born from second wife Kheri. Two divine sons named Shree Dhanvantari and Shree Sarvagya were born. They were called Srivastava ‘Doosre’.
The Srivastavas are divided into 65 main Als.''

replies: text: Similar material was added again in March by an anon, User talk:167.88.201.100. I've labelled it as unreferenced. None of the names mentioned have existing articles in Wikipedia, and as it has neither links nor sources it has little value in Wikipedia. - Fayenatic (talk) 13:47, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  People NOT named Shrivastava 

message: I WP:BOLDly moved the page Shrivastava → Srivastava despite the lack of consensus above, given repeated edits by other contributors wanting to give priority to the spelling Srivastava rather than Shrivastava.
To preserve the page history, I first moved the old page Srivastava to Srivastava/Old page. – Fayenatic London 14:12, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Hey קייאסטה שירומאני, as mentioned in my edit summary, one is a Raj-era source and the other two doesn't even talk about Chitraguptavanshi Kayastha. You need to provide the full quote from the two sources here, which will then be verified as per WP:V. The source (you mentioned Sitush has accepted), is not a WP:RS, please provide the revision history (difference) where Sitush has accepted the same. Do not engage in edit warring, which may lead to getting blocked! Thanks! Ekdalian (talk) 18:07, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
