PROD'd (not by me) with the following rationale: "Unsourced and one single colonial era source was added that I removed and there is no enough sources for the topic to add. It showed that the topic of the article is non notable topic. Good faith"
De-PROD'd with the following edit summary: "This user is only targeting Pashtun related pages"
Coming upon this from the orphaned article category, I have no stake in that dispute and no idea whether that is accurate. I can say that I concur with the PROD rationale; I also found no non-Raj era sources. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 11:37, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

- Comments:
- The person who proposed the article’s deletion has, in fact, “targeted” a number of poorly sourced articles about Pashtun tribes. That doesn’t mean they’re wrong.

- Draft - I think the fairest thing to do here is to draftify. I see whispers in sources that it is a verifiable thing, but these tend to be mentions. It may well be a thing discussed in depth in Pashtun sources. I can't find them and unless someone else offers them, I'm not sure any of the rest of us are in a position to assess them.

- We should not be draftifying articles that are over five years old. We also cannot simply assume that in-depth sourcing exists - we don't need the actual sources, but we need proof of their existence. Otherwise we would be forced to keep anything with potential for non-English sourcing, no matter how little actual indication there is of it. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 09:07, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - no refs found for Yusuf Khel as a tribe or caste. Multiple passing mentions for villages with this name in Afghanistan and Pakistan: [1], [2], [3], [4]
- We could potentially edit this stub into a geographic stub with the same name but that seems a potentially confusing thing to do during an AfD - better to first delete this and then start one or two new stubs later if desired
