This is supposed to be "a list of people bearing the surname Vannar" but it has three entries which are not about people with this surname. In fact, I can't find a single Wikipedia article about such people so I propose to delete the list. The article was previously Proded but the tag was removed by an IP without explanation. (Note that if kept, the article should be renamed to Vannar (surname) or something like that.) Pichpich (talk) 21:01, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I was about to AfD this page myself, for the reasons listed by the nom. Appears to be a WP:OR/made-up topic. None of the people on the list are actually named Vannar. The third item on the list is the name of a diety, not a person. Ref no 2 does not mention the name Vannar at all, as searching through its text in GoogleBooks shows. [1]. Looks like a likely WP:HOAX. Nsk92 (talk) 21:05, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think this is an attempt to list people who are/were members of the Vannar caste. Given its length, merging it with the main article would be the usual route. However, the sourcing needs to be checked first as in such lists it is usually the case that many of the sources are poor. User:Sitush/Common#Castelists may come into play at some point also. - Sitush (talk) 21:06, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Even if you are correct that the page was intended to be a list of people who are/were members of the Vannar caste, there isn't anything in the article worth merging. Source number 2 does not mention Vannar, as noted in my comments above. Source no. 1 is now a dead link, but there seems to be a copy of it available elsewhere. No mention of Vannar there either. The third item on the list is a diety, not a person. Nsk92 (talk) 21:14, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Which is why I said that the sources would need to be checked. - Sitush (talk) 04:05, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - as the one who prodded it, it is a list which contains not a single entry about what the list is supposed to contain. There is a caste called Vannar, but I can't find a single WP article about an individual with the name Vannar.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:24, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. If Vannar included a list of people then it could be usable as a redirect, but I don't see any reason to create such a redirect at this time. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 23:45, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, The list contains only three names , at best it could be regarded as OR. Alex-h (talk) 17:00, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
delete the people included in the list dont have the surname, nor they belong to the caste. Maybe a hoax, or could be OR. In any case, fails the notability criteria for lists. —usernamekiran(talk) 23:37, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
