Notable Marwats

This article suffers from numerous, repeated, additions to the "Notable Marwats" section, of people who are not "notable" in Wikipedia's use of the word. Being "popular", "worthy", having served in a job for a long time, or having a famous relative, is not "notable" in Wikipedia's terms, so does not merit inclusion.
Most articles on groups of people; tribes, casts, residents etc. require the person to have an article on the English Wikipedia, before a name can be included. In exceptional circumstances, this is sometimes extended to cover people who meet Wikipedia:Notability (people), so are notable enough to have an article, but this has not yet been written.
Unfortunately, once one exception to the "no article = no inclusion" rule has been allowed, this is frequently misunderstood, and names are added either without any sources whatsoever, or with unacceptable sources (Facebook, blogs etc. or sources related to the subject).
As with any article, to meet Wikipedia:Notability (people), there must significant coverage (not just a passing mention, but whole articles, or a substantial section of a book, devoted to the person) in reliable sources (not Facebook, Linked-In, Twitter, blogs, self-published or user-editable source like Wikipedia) that are independent of the subject (not their company, university, council, PR company, relative etc.).
Given the frequent addition of non-notable names to the list, I propose we adopt a strict policy of "No article = No inclusion" and remove all red-linked names. - Arjayay (talk) 16:23, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

I agree. Pjposullivan (talk) 17:59, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

OK - This has run for over a month - consensus is that "No article = No inclusion" and all red-linked names are to be removed. - Arjayay (talk) 14:06, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Sub-tribes

Musakhels are not Lohani! they are kakars and are ghurghast tribe related to Safis and Jadoons, so i removed that wrong information. Akmal94 (talk) 06:22, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you Akmal94, do you have a source that says this, so that any future changes to the sub-tribes list can be verified? Pjposullivan (talk) 11:21, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello there,

This source http://www.afghan-bios.info/index.php?option=com_afghanbios&id=812&task=view&total=3096&start=1302&Itemid=2 is straight from the afghan website mentioning the subtribes of the Kakar tribe. Musakhel is on the list and i had also added this in a while back. Akmal94 (talk) 13:09, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
