talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
Delete as an
indiscriminate collection of information, and because the topic fails
verification, and because the topic fails the
general notability guideline for lack of citation to reliable sources about the topic. This article appears to be about a Maratha clan, I say appears because it lacks a
lead section. It has been around for two years since 9 August 2012, so has had plenty of time for attention. The article currently has no citations concerning clan status.
Sitush removed unreliable sources in 2012. See
User talk:Starrahul#Maratha clans I was not able to find reliable sources to establish clan status. Even the not-reliable "crowd-sourced" surname page entitled
Nalawade Genealogy, Nalawade Family History at Geni.com is empty. I found two Wikipedia articles that linked to this article,
List of Maratha dynasties and states in which it is listed under "Rulers" for
Pune,
Satara and
Sangli without citation, and
List of Marathi films where it was a
false drop for the actor
Arun Nalawade, which false drop I have corrected. In Shrivastavya's 1952 book Are Rajput-Maratha Marriages Morganatic? the name "Nalavade" with the letter "v" is mentioned, but the sources and reliability are unclear. All of the existing citations are about individuals who happen to have "Nalawade", in some form, as a surname. Example: Mr. Dattatraya Shankar Nalawde Mayor of Bombay was born in village Vanake in Ratnagiri Dist. Anyone one of the three reason given above should be adequate for removal. I note that, among other warnings and bans, in October 2012 the article's author received a six-month topic ban on editing Maratha related articles, and did not return to editing after its expiration. --

Delete. It could be replaced with a surname page listing the articles about people with this name (currently
four). However, this does not require any continuity with the current article. –

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep but revert to
this version of the page which had been previously trimmed down by
Sitush, which describes it as a surname. --

That version still fails
verification since the citations that
Sitush removed were only the unreliable ones. --
