Rai (Bunts) provides no evidence that Rai is somehow specific to Bunts. Staszek Lem (talk) 00:41, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Please go through the updated sources.

There is no evidence? Rai also belong to the Bunt community of coastal Karnataka. It is necessary to have a separate article as it may confuse readers. Please go through the updated reference sources on the article itself. --PageImp (talk) 15:27, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

People from different regions may have a certain surname. This does not give a reason to make a separate Rai(?) article for each Indian area. There is no evidence that 'Rai' of Bunts is of some special origin. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:36, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Point is not about some community being "Special origin" or stuff like that. No one is trying to prove that who is great. The point is that the reader should not be confused between these surnames. If 2 surnames are spelt exactly that doesn't make them identical. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CodePanda (talk • contribs) 18:51, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Please provide proof that they are not identical. Staszek Lem (talk) 01:23, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Please don't use dubious click bait websites as references. Staszek Lem (talk) 05:33, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Click-bait? I don't think that made any sense. --CodePanda
