[edit] Butt (tribe)
Totally unsourced. Could be true, but just as likely a hoax, given the name. The heading "Famous Kashmiri Butts" just screams hoax. Even if there is a core of truth, in it's current unsourced state any part of it could be hoax-fodder. IMHO just not useful as it is. TexasAndroid 15:49, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

- Comment It's not a hoax -- Butt is a common surname in Pakistan and Kashmir. No opinion on notability. NawlinWiki 16:07, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - Pathetic joke and hoax. - Caribbean~H.Q. 16:09, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment It seems to be a common surname - possibly related to the name Bhat, possibly not, but some of the article is obviously a joke. Maybe someone (not me) could find out who inserted this bit: "Stin Keh Butt: invented an Arabian tool for cleaning" :) KZF (talk • contribs) 16:17, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

- Comment - Toilet paper? anyways merge it into Bhat per not meeting WP:N by itself. - Caribbean~H.Q. 16:24, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. No sources substantiating notability. Even if Butt is just an alternate spelling of Bhat, no source is provided documenting this alternate spelling, so merger with Bhat is not called for. Nick Graves 16:41, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Definitely a joke. The "Stin Keh Butt" gives it away for sure. Useight 17:42, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

- I'm thinking now that it's part real and part joke. Likely a real name that has been overcome by hoaxy data. So part of the question is, is there any way to separate the real from the hoax, especially given the lack of sourcing for whatever may be real. And is such an project worth the effort? And without any sourcing, I really do not think it will be worth the effort. - TexasAndroid 17:47, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- Minimal merge and redirect to Bhat (tribe). Butt is a legitimate variant of the name and is present in many people's names in India, but I can't find evidence that it's a separate tribe. --Dhartung | Talk 21:33, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Funny in a sophomoric way, but a rather obvious hoax. Salvatore22 22:51, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
