The result was delete. Due to the lack of reliable sources to establish notability. Davewild (talk) 17:40, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Sohal (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Entire content unreferenced (and Google gives roughly as many hits for the fish as for people named Sohal, none of the latter looking like reliable sources), no indication of notability, partly bordering on attack, partly indiscriminate collection of information (There's a similar name in Germany? So what?). Even if the surname Sohal could be shown to be notable, the article would have to be rewritten completely. Huon (talk) 13:03, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment and Keep Has notability been checked in English only, as this deals with a non-English population, English language links will be less than its true notability. Arnoutf (talk) 17:07, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, this is the English Wikipedia. Don't worry about WP:BIAS, all articles must be sourced. All the "prominent" Sohals are kids proclaiming their love for Harry Potter or similar. Wikipedia is not Facebook. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 11:02, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete due to lack of references. Stifle (talk) 11:03, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Delete. Supposing notability of such tribe or clan were established, an article on it would have to be completely rewritten. Not useful as a surname disambiguation page either. (Prominent persons section is the object of ongoing vandalism). ~ Ningauble (talk) 17:42, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
