Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gopal (caste)

(Go-pal) Why this word used in sanskrit . To indicate that person is cow owner simple is that ,so why some group of people took Go-pal as their caste indicator, If you see in this world many people's have their own Cows so how can they Grant Go-pal name for their self example , Yadav, Ahir whatever their name is that's why I suggest all people on Wikipedia this page should be deleted . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhagruti (talk • contribs) 18:20, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Nominator has failed to present a well-reasoned argument for deletion. Personally, I agree with many Indian leaders that the caste system should be abandoned, but the caste system still exists and Wikipedia needs to cover it. This article appears to be neutrally written and appears to be well-referenced. Further input from knowledgeable and neutral Indian Wikipedia editors would be welcomed.

Keep. Nomination fails to advance a policy argument for deleting the article. It's well referenced and satisfies the GNG guidelines. --(loopback) ping/whereis 08:20, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep - The nominator, with all due respect, failed to provide a coherent rationale for deletion. The article has plenty of references with WP:SIGCOV, is neutrally written, and has no big problems that justify TNT. The ⬡ Bestagon ^T/_C 09:08, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I kind of agree with the OP. However, caste, including this caste, is a thing that exists, and therefore Wikipedia has an article about it as a thing that exists. If some part of the article is incorrect, then I suggest Dispute Resolution. If the objection is that this thing should not exist, then that is outside the scope of Wikipedia. Probably requires grassroots organizing. Elinruby (talk) 06:13, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
