The article is too short more like a dictionary definition rather than article, no

it with the English word 'Wine'? But, in fact, there is no relation between the two words. Wyne has historically been used as a tribal family name in Punjab. I remember working on his still existing Wikipedia article

Wyne (tribe) was created in 2013 by someone and has been neglected and unsourced since then like many others we run into. Anyone of us may try to find references on Google Books for it where I usually have luck for tribal names. I'll also try to look for them soon. Ngrewal1 (talk) 19:33, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply

  • Comment Please see this comment copied here from the above article's Talk page from a Wikipedia user who uses this name as his family name:

"No this isn't a hoax. This is a family name in Pakistan. Also this is my family name". MNWYNE (talk) 14:04, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

I'll list here at least two notable Pakistani people with this family name:

  • Possibly redirect to Wani (surname), which says it's also spelled Wyne and associated with a caste in India and Pakistan/Punjab? Clarityfiend (talk) 07:08, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the sources added to the article are of no use in establishing that “Wyne” is the name of a “tribe”. They merely establish that it is a surname. The fact that a few people share a surname does not establish the existence of a “tribe” - apparently there are no sources at all that do that. Mccapra (talk) 07:39, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Suggestion First since Wyne sounded too close to the English word 'Wine', it might have been a hoax – which was understandable to me. Now that 4 newspaper references were located and provided to establish that notable people in Pakistan have been using it as their family or surname, the word 'tribe' can be changed in the article title. I suggest that we 'Move page' to make the article title Wyne (name) or Wyne (surname). Many already existing Wikipedia articles have titles like that. Thanks Ngrewal1 (talk) 15:25, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If we remove any reference to tribes the page could be about a surname, but with only two names cited, that may not fly either. Mccapra (talk) 21:06, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Disambiguation page. (I apologize, I do not know the proper terminology for turning something into one). Turn "Wyne" into a disambiguation page with the names of notable people with the surname Wyne. ArdynOfTheAncients (talk) 15:17, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Wyne already exists as a disambiguation page. —Bagumba (talk) 09:27, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete We have clearly established that this is not a hoax. But I see absolutely nothing to establish notability. CT55555 (talk) 19:53, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and rename as
