Bohra (clan)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Single source does not demonstrate notability. This group was mentioned in passing in a catalog list of names in a region. Note: I previously nominated this page for speedy deletion but it was declined as A7 does not apply to groups. I was unable to find any other refs for this with a Google search.

Just also wanted to add (for clarity) that I am not sure what the claim is to notability. If you check the books search link above, the clan is mentioned in a few books (some re-issues of catalog type books), but the article doesn't state why this is important.

Delete - I can't see the notability here. Bali88 (talk) 01:57, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I think there is enough notability in the source to keep this. This article is relatively new. Keep this, so that more content and sources can be added to it by other members in the future. -Afjdjhfdf (talk) 12:54, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As the creator of the article, can you explain what the claim of notability is? That, to me, is what is missing. It's clear that this name/clan existed -- but why is that important? Beakermeep^(talk) 13:29, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is important as there are many famous people from this clan, whose articles are also in WP. See A D Bohra, Ramkumar Bohra, Karanvir Bohra. -Afjdjhfdf (talk) 08:18, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete as lacking sources. While there are undoubtedly notable people with this surname, there is no evidence of a clan of this name. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:46, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
