Proposed merge of Paika (community) into Paiks

- Oppose; these are separate topics and are best kept as such. Paiks describes a corvee system that collapsed in the late 18th century; Paika (community) describes a modern community or caste. A merge would only confuse readers. Klbrain (talk) 00:52, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
- Closing, given the uncontested objection and no support, with stale discussion. Klbrain (talk) 17:18, 16 September 2025 (UTC)
