Unsourced
WP:Original research on either
Nair,
Vaniya Chettiar, or the merged
Nair subcastes, all of which have a long and problematic history of unsourced
WP:OR on subcastes. Article creator contested proposed deletion (and removed all the maintenance templates) with the edit summary "fixed typo".

The creator included evidence for Vaniya nair caste in malabar in reference section,Vaniya nair is mentioned in "Letters From Malabar : Jacob Canter Visscher" as one of the caste engaged in traditional works in malabar region.A simple google search of word' vaniya nair' gave results of matrimonial sites exclussively dedicated to this specific caste-

Hello mighty glen,
I have added several referances now,Are those enough for the article to not to get deleted? Or should i add more?
Delete.
Poorly-sourced article with no indication of
notability.
Vaniya Chettiar already exists, and Google Books/News throw up zero results for "Vaniya Nair". Google Scholar has
[1] - an unpublished thesis with trivial mentions. The sources cited in the article are not adequate either.
[2] - Trivial mention of "Vaniya Nair" - not enough to establish notability; the source doesn't mention that it's a "sub-caste".
[3] - Mentions the term "Vaniya Chettiar", on which an article already exists; also a weebly page is not a reliable source. The creator states that
[4] mentions the term, but I couldn't find it -- added a 'page number needed' tag. The following sources don't mention the terms "Vaniya Nair" and "Vaniya Chettiar":
[5][6][7][8][9] (and most of these don't pass
WP:RS guidelines).
