Notability

I have just searched Google, JSTOR, Project Muse, Oxford Journals, Cambridge Journals, Cambridge University Press, Emwrald Insight, Sage Journals, and Oxford Scholarship Online. The only non-mirror etc mention of this caste is a brief piece by the Anthropological Survey of India in their (reliable) "national" series of The People of India and an entry in their (unreliable) "states" series of the same.

I do not currently have access to journals published by Taylor & Francis but this does not look good. RegentsPark, I see you reverted here recently - what do you think about a redirect to Ambattar? - Sitush (talk) 16:41, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Clarification: Ambattar because when I use a different spelling I get stuff like this. - Sitush (talk) 17:03, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

I merely reverted stuff in non-Latin script. But, looking through JSTOR, I see one independent reference to Nasuvan (one s, not two). Nasuvan as barbers and various census statistics (though listed as Do. Nasuvan, not sure what the Do. signifies) (example). Are Ambattar also barbers? --regentspark (comment) 19:05, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
