I couldn't verify that this is a notable topic. Joon (disambiguation) should be moved here. Boleyn (talk) 03:00, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Couldn't establish notability. utcursch | talk 03:12, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per 1. If it is to be deleted, then Redirect/merge it to Jat people.  sami  ^talk 22:28, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  @Samee: Jatland.com is not an acceptable source or an indicator of notability -- it is a user-contributed wiki. The person who authored the Wikipedia article also wrote the article on Jatland.com. In fact, the Jatland.com wiki was established because Wikipedia editors started deleting Jat propaganda from Wikipedia. The website relies on a mixture of pseudo-history, obsolete colonial theories, and downright lies to make absurd claims. E.g. It claims that ancient kings like Chandragupta, Ashoka, Kanishka etc. were Jats[1], and that the Kushan Empire was founded by Kaswan Jats[2]. utcursch | talk 23:15, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for informing me. I did not see the history of the Wikipedia article at that time. I know that Jatland.com is not a RS. The article was of single line, that's why I relied on that source. I've struck the vote. Once again, thanks.

• Delete - lack of reliable sources to justify the need for an article Spiderone 20:07, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Convert to disambiguation page – Joon clan not only fails notability but also wrongly placed as the primary topic. But Joon should not be deleted because it clearly meets disambiguation criteria, as can be seen in this revision of Joon, which is in fact suggested by the nom. As there's no primary topic here, there's no need to add the tag "(disambiguation)", as per WP:DABNAME. And, according to WP:DABNAME, Joon (disambiguation) should be redirected to Joon.

PS: WP:DISCUSSAFD states that alternatives to deletion should be considered. If you think the article should be a disambiguation page, a redirect or merger to another article, then recommend "Disambiguation", "Redirect" or "Merge". Do not recommend deletion in such cases. - NitinMlk (talk) 19:32, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A disambiguation page already exists: Joon (disambiguation). It can simply be moved to Joon when this article is deleted. utcursch | talk 19:45, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:DISCUSSAFD, which clearly states that disambiguation is not a reason for deletion. In fact, I quoted the relevant portion of the policy in my !vote. - NitinMlk (talk) 20:05, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
