Lodh

The caste this article is referring to is Lodhi, whose article is already there in Wikipedia. Also, the official name of the caste is Lodhi (as per OBC list of various states). So there is no point in keeping this article. Owsert (talk) 05:47, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Seems obvious to me: there are some sources & info in Lodh that could easily be merged in Lodhi. The term do appear to be synonyms, as also does Lodha (eg: here). I'm not sure which way it should be merged, though. Official spellings do not count for a lot, as especially not in India where officialdom often does not agree on its own transliterations - it is WP:COMMONNAME that applies here. - Sitush (talk) 11:00, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
