This was subject to a prior AfD which closed with no consensus. I am having trouble determining that a legendary dynasty has any form of notability, and suggest that it fails WP:GNG. A thorough search has revealed may sites speaking of the dynasty, but a great many are user generated material, and cannot contribute to verifying any form of notability. I am unconvinced by the current pair of references. I believe that the article merits a correct and consensus based community decision, and request that a "no consensus" close be treated as an unhelpful outcome, and that a full consensus either way be created. It is my intent to notify participants at the prior AfD in a neutral manner that this discussion exists. I am not opposed to a merge to a relevant target as an outcome of this discussion, recongising that folklore has a place in an encyclopaedia. 🇺🇦  Fiddle^Timtrent  Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 06:36, 25 May 2022 (UTC) reply

• Delete (disclosure, closer of prior AfD). Some of this is undoubtedly a language issue, but my BEFORE returned the same issues Timtrent raised. Unreliable sourcing and nothing in reliable sources to backup the notability of this alleged dynasty. My concern about a merger is how much of this appears to be OR, so do we have a valid and viable merger target? No objection to a merger if sourcing is identified.

• Redirect to Sibi -- Dynasty articles normally consist of a list of rulers, but there is none. This article says nothing much that adds to the reference in that article. I am only not saying "merge" because I do not think there is anything that needs merging. Whether a ruler is notable will depend on what he did and how large an area he ruled. In the case of a dynasty, I would suggest the factors would include the size of the area ruled; and to what extent he was a local ruler under the authority of a higher ruler. The rajah of one village is likely to be NN, but the ruler of 100o villages probably would be. Peterkingiron ( talk) 16:04, 27 May 2022 (UTC) reply
• Delete We have nothing to write apart from a line using questionable sources. TrangaBellam ( talk) 19:02, 31 May 2022 (UTC) reply
