The result was keep. There’s no support for the nominator's argument for deletion here. It is well explained that the two articles - Baishya Saha and Saha (surname) - are about different topics, one is a caste and the other is a surname used by this and other castes.

A page already exists for the saha surname. The baishya prefix is unnecessary. The pages actually refer to the same surname of hindu indian origin Editrdec19 (talk) 17:05, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Saha is a surname, used mostly by two castes- Baishya Saha and Shunri, which are now practically different castes. Both these castes have few other surnames too, like Podder, Sadhu, Sadhukhan, Mandal, Roychoudhury etc. Baishya prefix is necessary for the caste article as the community often identify themselves by the present article name; Scholars too use this name. So Baishy Saha(caste article) and Saha(surname article) aren't identical and deserve separate and independent presence on Wikipedia. Thanks.CharlesWain (talk) 07:07, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Saha (surname) is a surname as evident from the article name, whereas Baishya Saha is a caste. Saha may be used as a surname by other castes especially Shunris as rightly mentioned by CharlesWain above. Therefore, there's no reason why the article on Baishya Saha should be deleted! Thanks.
