Talk:Paravar

Sri Lanka

Until my big revert of a minute or so ago, this article had recently-inserted information about the Paravar in Sri Lanka. But it said that they were Bharathas. So why the heck include them here in any detail? They have their own article and a simple single sentence or See also entry would suffice, surely? - Sitush (talk) 20:04, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

I did not add any great detail about the Bharathas, they were included in the lead with only one sentence,

"The Paravars found on the western coast of Sri Lanka are known as Bharathas who migrated to the island under the Portuguese rule.[7]"

You should probably check twice before making a statement. Xenani (talk) 20:55, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

A whole chunk of stuff relating to Sri Lanka existed in the article and I think it should not. - Sitush (talk) 20:58, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Which content is related to Sri Lanka? Which is related to the Bharathas? And why shouldn't there be "A whole chunk of stuff relating to Sri Lanka" exist in the article? There aren't any major difference between Paravars of India or Sri Lanka and the Bharathas are the same group who just have been "officialy" been renamed as the mainstream academic sources claim. And what are the stuff related to Sri Lanka that you mean should not be included? You need to be much more specific and clarify better your revert. Xenani (talk) 21:37, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

So propose a merge of the articles if they're the same community. Stop spamming Sri Lanka stuff here just because of some Tamil nationalist POV or whatever it may be. - Sitush (talk) 08:39, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

To clarify, if they are the same community then we should have one article, not two. If they are not the same community or there are significant differences then there should be two articles, each with a pointer to each other either via See also or an in-text link and brief explanation as to why. - Sitush (talk) 04:11, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

@Sitush:, if there is only not consensus regarding the Bharathas being included in the article, is there at least consensus regarding the etymology section (and mythology section) which has also been removed with your revert? I think also that in the lead, the names "Bharathakula Pandyar" and "Bharathakula Kshatriyas" should be removed as they are not mentioned in the source or put on a tag for needed quotation as I couldn't find the terms in any sources.

A long time has passed and due to lack of response, will I add content among other regarding the etymolgy. Xenani (talk) 09:47, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Cholas are also Parathavars

நளிஇரும் முந்நீர் நாவாய் ஒட்டி, வளிதொழில் ஆண்ட உரவோன் மருக ! களிஇயல் யானைக் கரிகால் வளவ !

Self explanatory!

Just make sure you only add names of people with wiki-pages in lists and no one will bother you. RegentsPark (comment) 14:58, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 25 November 2025

() Someone removed "Royan" from Common Surnames

• Addition of "Royan" to Common Surnames NathanFernando (talk) 19:29, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Question: "Rayan" is already included. Is "Royan" an alternate spelling? - Umby 🌕🐶 (talk) 22:46, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

 Not done: the entire section is unsourced and quite possibly OR. Since we havent heard back from the requestor in a month, I'm going to remove the section and close the request. If anyone has sources and thinks it should be included, feel free to revert. IsCat (talk) 23:31, 31 December 2025 (UTC)
