The result was redirect to Koli people. Notability seems doubtful at best. Any content worth merging to the redirect target is available from the article history. Randykitty (talk) 12:04, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another non-notable caste, a handful of passing mentions but nothing significant. It's basically the equivalent of last name and people trying to put more weight behind something that just isn't. Praxidicae (talk) 18:56, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is notable article because ghadasi is subcaste of the Kolis of gujarat. GujaratiGangster (talk) 00:46, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge By the article creator's own argument above, as a subcaste of the Koli people it would only seem to make sense to add any information about the Ghadasi to the Koli article under a heading rather than have an entire new article, especially if their only claim to notability is by being a subcaste. That might be true of most of what is under the category for the Koli people [3], in fact, since at the current moment there's at least one more AfD, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Chuvalia, going on in relation to this topic.

• Delete This article fails WP:GNG because its sources are primarily just passing mentions and there is no sustained WP:SIGCOV that this caste is a notable group of people. Also, per WP:NOTINHERITED being related to a more notable group of people does not make this caste more notable. Newshunter12 (talk) 06:29, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
