Big deletion of uncited list
[edit]I have just removed 90% of the article because it was an uncited, sprawling and confusing list of clans. I have no objection to a list provided that the contents abide by the Wikipedia policies and, in particular, those for verification of information using reliable sources. I would further point out that old texts, such as those by Thurston and Iyengar, are both highly unreliable and controversial. They really will not do as sources here. If the item is sufficiently notable then it will have been covered by much newer works created by people with a neutral point of view.
I realise that this entire subject is, like so many relating to caste systems, highly controversial. However, that merely makes the requirement I have stated more important. Please abide by it. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 16:33, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
- what confusing list of clans? Palani Anda Nadu Kongan venman (talk) 11:59, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
- we people just put our clan names(and our clan dietys ,who had claimed our clans as theirs to prove neutral point of view) , documents were also found in the old tamil incription(2000 years old incription,people our caste always mentioned with their caste name vellalan,their native village,clan name ,their name ,and with their title) etc ...
- The sixty Sub- castes are generally called Kuttam/Kootam, or Kulam or Gottiram. It seems these terms are used as synonyms. The following are the kuttams/Kootams as found in some catalogues.

- Well, any citation is better than the zero that existed previously. However, can you provide another please: two cites proving a statement such as this is always helpful. I note that the academic you quote is deliberately vague - "seem", "some catalogues" etc. He appears not to be saying that the information is correct but rather than the information has been found somewhere. Does he even specify where he found it, which is what academics usually do? Even academics can be controversial, and especially on their own websites. Just look at David Irving, the holocaust denier. - Sitush (talk) 12:14, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

- Rituals played and still play an important part in the hindu Community.The Gounders are no exceptions.This community is sub-divided into Kulams.Each Kulam has its own name and some of them date back to the Cankam age.Ati kulam.Antuvan Kulam,Antaikulam are few examples of the names.A special study is necessary to enumerate the entire number.Marriage betwist members of the same Kulam are the direct descendants of one and the same ancestor after whom the kulam is often named.A penetrative study of these kulams takes as dangerously near Freud,s interpretation of similar sub-divisions in his 'Totem & Taboo'.Each Kulam has its own invincible,'presiding deity' but it is not rare to encounter three or four different kulams with the same kula Teyvam(presiding deity). often it is one of the numerous forms of KALI which is the Kula Teyvam and less frequently the earliest ancestor of the sub-sect is elevated to the rank of the kula Teyvam.

கொங்கு வேளாளர்களின் அடிப்படையான குழு அடையாளம் அவர்களது கூட்டம் ஆகும். சிந்து வெளிப்பகுதியிலும் அதற்கு அப்பாலும், கொங்கு வேளாண் குடியினரின் கூட்டப் பெயர்களை (Clan names) நினைவுறுத்தும் இடப்பெயர்கள் வழங்குகின்றன. அந்துவன், ஆதி, அடகர், அழகன், ஆவன், ஆடர், ஓதாளன், கண்ணர், செங்கண்ணி, சேரன், பாண்டியர், பில்லன், ஆடை, ஆவலன், மணியன், மாடை, ஆந்தை, மூலன், மூத்தன், மேதி, வாணி, தூரன், கல்வி, காமன், காடை, கொடியன், கொற்றன், கோவன், சேகன், நாகன், நீலன், பதரி, உண்ணகர், ஓசை, கம்பன், காவலன், காரை, கீரை, கொள்ளி, சோமன், தட்டை, நந்தர், நாரை, நேரியன், பாசை, வேந்தர், வெளியன், ஈஞ்சர், ஒழுக்கர், குழாயர், கூறை, செம்பர், சேடர், பனையர், அவுரியன், பூச்சந்தை, பூசர், பெரியன், பொன்னன், பொருள்தந்தான், மயிலர், மழவன், வண்ணக்கர், தனஞ்செய், தோடை, பவளர், அவுரியன், ஊரியன், காவூரி, குங்கிலி, கொம்மையர், கோரக்கர், சாத்தந்தை, செழியன், தோயன், நெய்தலி, பணகன், வல்லி, தழிஞ்சி, பயிரன், பதுமன், கொண்டரங்கி, செல்லன், நீருணி போன்ற கொங்கு வேளாளர் கூட்டப் பெயர்களை நினைவுறுத்தும் இடப் பெயர்கள் இதற்குச் சான்றாகும்.

- Two things:
- I have some suspicions that you may be a sockpuppet and intend to investigate. If you are then I shall be ignoring the above; and
- foreign language sources are only usually acceptable on Wikipedia with a translation. If this is a notable subject then it will have been covered in the English language anyway, especially since English is one of the languages of India. - Sitush (talk) 13:22, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
- Two things:
- i had posted many english language reference also , inscriptions are all only in tamil language to convert every inscription to equivalent english is hard

- English language is no one's mother tonque, and too indians are not native english speaker, two states of india is equal to population of america or USA ,my state size is larger than greece country , my states population is 7.21 crore .my language tamil one of the classical language of world,we(tamil) had done trade with
ancient greece,rome,nile river people.with ancient china, tamil had tought buddisum and martial arts to chinese and had a trade with chinese empire, we(tamil) had ruled 1,389,968 sq mi (1050 a.d) in the world,and we people had continuous documented history of our people from atleast 5th B.C to till now .

- This last comment by you just makes me more convinced that you are a sockpuppet and pushing a point of view, sorry. There is a pattern developing here. I will go through your sources but would advise you not to post anything more if you are indeed a sock. - Sitush (talk) 14:41, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Notability
[edit]I am beginning to wonder whether this is even a notable subject. Are there equivalent lists of Scottish clans, for example? - Sitush (talk) 13:31, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
- i have a feeling the information itself is real and worth including in Kongu Vellalar article but has no particular significance to merit its own article. --CarTick (talk) 14:57, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
- That would be my interpretation, without having yet checked the refs provided. The problem would be that the target article would then potentially amass a huge, rambling list such as that which I have deleted recently from here. Assuming that the refs above are reliable etc, it looks like there will need to be a compromise, eg: a statement in the Kongu Vellalar articles that X number of clans exist, with a citation & an item in the Further Reading section. Something like that, anyway.
- Regardless, you and I have other article issues simmering at the moment, so I think maybe just leave this one open-ended for now? - Sitush (talk) 17:22, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
