- Comment: Anything to do with South Asian Social Groups requires supreme excellence of referencing. Your referencing failsIn addition you appear to be trying to create a disambiguation page for the family name Antal. Such pages are separate from articles describing the base topic 🇵🇸🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦🇵🇸 14:12, 7 December 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: The draft cites notable members, but lacks significant coverage of the Antal clan as a collective entity. Notability cannot be established solely by citing members or using 1911/1916 glossaries and non-independent sources (Jatland Wiki, Scribd). Requires substantial, modern, secondary sources focused on the clan itself. Osapolo (talk) 11:21, 7 December 2025 (UTC)
