Unreferenced list with no context, explanation, or criteria for inclusion. Priyanath ^talk 02:41, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Falcon8765 (talk) 02:46, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I PRODded the article with similar rationale, PROD was contested with no explanation or improvement. The title is incorrect, I tried sourcing a bit, but without any inclusion criteria it's impossible, and there's absolutely no context provided in the article, except for this statement - Maratha Community Members may add places with reference of their clan which essentially implies that there's no inclusion criteria. -SpacemanSpiff^{Calvin‡Hobbes} 02:49, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as OR. --Deepak D'Souza 02:52, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as OR. Possibly redirect to List of Maratha notables by clan, which is just as bad. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 04:01, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment I've just nominated List of Maratha notables by clan for deletion here, since not a single reference in that article supported what it was claiming (that a certain person was a member of that clan). Priyanath ^talk 04:44, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as an indiscriminate list with no context or sources. JIP | Talk 05:00, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as unreferenced OR lacking any context. Bazj (talk) 19:58, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I could find no secondary source that discusses "Marathas Ruling Centres" as a notable subject, which would justify creation of a list. The lack of a defined inclusion criterion means that this is list is just a POV magnet. Abecedare (talk) 05:24, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: WP:OR. The start Maratha Community Members may add places with reference of their clan is itself so ridiculous. Kensplanet^T_C 05:55, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
