Delete. Can't find any references to this term. Article has no references (definate case for "draftication" regardless). Britishfinance (talk) 21:39, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – A custom source search provided this source, published in 1940 by "Government Printing" (link), but this may be a British Raj source, which some on Wikipedia consider to be unreliable regarding clans and tribes. Not sure, because I cannot access the minuscule preview of the title page of the source in a larger size to actually read it. This search provides more sources with snippet views.

Yes, that is a reprint of Lepel Griffin's Chief and Families of Note in the Punjab from ca. 1909. Like most British writers of the Raj era who published about castes/clans etc, he was an amateur in the sphere of ethnography and an administrator by profession. Their aim in writing these books was to document for the purposes of controlling the population for the benefit of empire. - Sitush (talk) 06:44, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. It's an evidently obscure subject that fails the criteria of verifiable notability. -The Gnome (talk) 05:46, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Per the above, as well as failing WP:GNG. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 08:05, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
