Last names may be inherently notable (?) but this article has been uncited for three years and is making very specific claims about origin. If those claims are removed then there is nothing left to the article other than "Gothoskar is a last name". Sitush (talk) 12:38, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was unable to find sources substantiating the claims about the surname in the current article, nor was I able to find any general etymology information about this family name. Of course, we have articles about last names, like Smith (surname), but there just isn't any reasonable sources that could make this into an article.
