The result was delete. Deleting just this one article, since it's not clear whether all of the articles were bundled into the nomination, and none of the other articles had AfD templates on them for the duration of this discussion. Also, AfD participants are reminded that they should only make one bolded vote per AfD. ‑Scottywong | talk _ 18:24, 27 April 2012 (UTC) reply
I am unsure whether this new article Central List of Other Backward Classes for the State of Andhra Pradesh really serves any useful purpose. It is a straight copy from the official list. That list is available online, is cited in articles, and its content is liable to change from time to time because the reservation system (a form of positive discrimination) is in constant flux. If we are going to start adding articles based entirely on a single primary source then our count will grow dramatically and without adding anything to information that is already available in a single authoritative public document.

I will retract. We all want a scholarly discussion. But please everyone, no one personal comments. -- WALTHAM2 ( talk) 13:41, 23 April 2012 (UTC) reply
Deleteas per Sitush concerns and these lists are dubious at best.obc lists are a big problem.some castes as a whole are considered forward by central government but state governments have given obc status due to political considerations.there is also the issue of only a subacaste being given obc status while the said caste as a whole is forward.such lists try to simplify this complex issue.
