Fails WP:GNG. It is one of thousands of Indian clans but there are no reliable sources that discuss it. There is a list entry in one book source but that is about it. Sitush ( talk) 19:43, 21 February 2014 (UTC) reply

• Delete, appears to be a non notable tribe/clan. Only finds passing mention that too in few reliable sources. -- SMS ^Talk 21:18, 22 February 2014 (UTC) reply

• Do not Delete, This clan is a sub clan of 2nd biggest caste in Pakistan. The caste has an overall population estimated more than 80 million. They are spread across Central and South Asia. Behlot clan is currently divided between India and Pakistan with no communication links left. This listing of the clan on Wikipedia can help many scattered distant relatives to connect again. It is already admitted that one book reference is found. There are a lot of other online references as well. Is it more reliable if someone prints that on a paper instead of publishing on a website? This might not be a significant clan in India but in Pakistan they have a whole village on their name ( http://www.geographic.org/geographic_names/name.php?uni=-3840227&fid=4620&c=pakistan).

• I think that you are misunderstanding how Wikipedia works. Your link above does not verify your claim that the village is named after the community. And the citations added here merely verify that a community using the Behlot name exists. We need sources that discuss the clan and for statements such as "is a sub clan of 2nd biggest caste in Pakistan". Otherwise, it is just another last name and not remotely encyclopaedic. - Sitush ( talk) 19:14, 25 February 2014 (UTC) reply

• Delete Fails WP:GNG. Unable to find any reliable source in order to establish notability of the subject. Anupmehra - Let's talk! 09:17, 27 February 2014 (UTC) reply
