People with Gupta surname

Should people with Gupta surname be added? Most people with Gupta surname are Agrawals (except some people from Eastern UP and Bihar) and there are a number of notable Agrawals with that surname. A separate section for Guptas? Or should they be left out because there is no way to verify?Pheeniks (Talk) 21:16, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In Wikipedia, surnames are no proof of anything - we need reliable sources, but this article has a bigger problem.
It contradicts itself - is it about "a Hindu surname found throughout Northern, Central and Western India" "those people who use Agrawal (or other spelling variations)" or is it about "people who belong to the Agrawal community" ??? Arjayay (talk) 21:31, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. Is the current version good?Pheeniks (Talk) 23:08, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Now you can add with no issues. It's now a list of Baniya's HistorianV (talk) 17:16, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To repeat myself from 4 years ago : In Wikipedia, surnames are no proof of anything - we need reliable sources (and the people need their own articles on the English Wikipedia) - Arjayay (talk) 17:24, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All of the surnames have been created till now. I don't think any new surname is going top pop-up now. So, all the surnames are mentioned under a community in relation on wikipedia only. Nothing irrelevant coming on the way. HistorianV (talk) 14:45, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
