This appears to be a dictionary type definition, or at the very least a minor feature that should be mentioned in another article. I haven't suggested such an article as the obvious redirect (Vashistha), is written such that it is not clear what the article is about. Black Kite (talk) 18:14, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

::Keep Vashistha was the Rishi, this is a notable clan or gotra of India. I can see some mentions in [https://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks:1&q=%22Vasishta+Gotra%22 Google Books] too. User:Sitush may give a better insight! --Tito Dutta (contact) 22:22, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

::Comment - seen this via Echo but am engrossed in other things. Can someone ping me about it in a couple of days, please? We have a lot of rishi/gotra articles that simply should not exist due to sourcing issues but, hey, this may be an exception. - Sitush (talk) 23:37, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

::* Yeah, will do. This may be valid, but as I say, with articles on Vashistha and Gotra I suspected this one was unnecessary. Black Kite (talk) 23:45, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

:*Merge and redirect. It does indeed seem basically to be a dicdef and I'm not seeing any sources here that really advance our capability to make more of it. Although Black Kite is correct to say that the logical redirect (Vashistha) is unclear, I see no reason why the content of this article cannot be merged there. The gotra comprises people claiming a direct line of descent and a note in that article recording that the gotra exists seems entirely reasonable. - Sitush (talk) 15:13, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
