Talk:Kapu (caste)

The citations do not support why they are notable for this article. I'll be removing those entries. cc @Nikh Nori — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 13:36, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

: They are all notable people (have a Wikipedia page) and are identified by at least one reliable source, in most cases, as belonging to the community. In many cases, there is more than one source identifying the person. But I didn't add them so as not to clutter the article.

: Many Indian communities have separate pages for such lists. For example, List of Khatris, List of Rajputs, List of Maratha people, List of Iyengars, List of Ezhavas. Here, there is no separate page, and hence I only included the most prominent people from the community and excluded many lesser prominent people, especially from politics and the film industry, even though they have a Wikipedia page and are identified as belonging to the community.

::I think you did not understand what I meant. We do not include content in an article because a source verifies it. Verifiability that a person belongs to a community and that they have an article because they are notable doesn't conclude that we add them to such lists WP:ONUS. Only when it is WP:DUE. As I said above, the sources must attest that a person is notable with respect to this article. Literally almost every other person can be identified as belonging to a particular community [by sources] and thousands have an article here, we don't add them en masse. — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 08:46, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

::: Yes, that's what I was saying. I have only included the most notable people in the community. Most were mentioned in academic books/journals or articles from reputed newspapers in relation to the socio-economic condition of the community or while discussing the role of caste with regards to that industry e.g. politics or films. I have also gone through the discussions on previous lists. I took care to mostly confine this to dead people. And, in the case of living people (WP:BLP), I made sure that they were identified by multiple reliable sources and had not explicitly disassociated themselves from their community. I checked for all such issues. Nikh Nori (talk) 12:47, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

With the evolution, as kapu's were already rich enough and had greatly presence in society, their ancestors were originally devotees and were Brahmins before they got more involved in wars and getting Lands as a wars title.

Now Kapu's are going with their history and following their ancestors way of being once a Brahmin. So in short Kapu's valija are Brahmins before they got their service in War. 2409:4043:698:271C:9C07:7DD0:1E04:7BD1 (talk) 11:41, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
