A legendary dynasty that fails WP:GNG. Trivial mentions in census documents as part of folklore. Redirect to History of Balochistan. TrangaBellam ( talk) 14:25, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. Ref #1 in the article is a book, not a census document as claimed by the nom and appears to have more than a passing mention, also claimed by the nom. There is more than a passing mention in other books such as
Comprehensive Balochistan General Knowledge. If the article can't be expanded beyond what we currently have, then find somewhere to merge it to. Legends and myths from ancient times should be part of the foundations of any general encyclopaedia.

- A book on "
general knowledge" aimed at
civil services aspirants is not a
reliable source for topics of
ancient history.

- Merge/Redirect though there is little to merge to
Sibi, where there is a section on history. Even if this is solely based on tradition, there is no harm in including it in WP, though with suitable qualifying comments on the reliability of the information. However any article should be about the polity ruled, not about the ruling dynasty. This would not apply if the area ruled was a handful of villages and/or subject to the suzerainty of a larger state.

- Honestly, we do not have any material to merge apart from a single line even if we agree to use highly questionable sources. TrangaBellam ( talk) 18:01, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
