Kwamikagami requested speedy deletion in 2016 under the following rationale: "A review of the lit finds this topic (and my creation of a merged article) to be spurious. I merged several caste names which had received spurious ISO language codes; those codes are now redirected to the individual castes" and according to the talk page he still believes the rationale is true. I agree with the rationale. Honestly, the CSD should have been accepted as WP:G7 all those years ago, but I'm not sure G7 still applies as there's some significant page history not by Kwami. — Wug·a·po·des 04:21, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is something I essentially invented, due to a poor understanding of the subject matter. I had too much stuff on my watchlist to have noticed that my deletion request was rejected. — kwami (talk) 04:24, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, Glottolog: This entry has been retired and is featured here only for bookkeeping purposes. Bhalay is a caste rather than an ethnic group with a particular language, and if they speak a language separate from their neighbours, it is Nimadi. Possibly redirect to Bhalay caste. – Thjarkur (talk) 10:26, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
