One can refer gamit of articles Yadav_(disambiguation) by various communities including historical, mythological reference, pre-sanskritization, sanskritization, modern, post-indepdence. Good to improve this articles using pre-sanskritization reference for example:
A book written long before sanskritisation by James Todd "Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan 1829" [1]

change "traditionally non-elite, peasant-pastoral communities" to traditionally agricultural community. As most of the castes identified along with Yadavs like Jat, earlier the page Jat had non elite as well but it is now removed or the other castes like Gujjar which are even considered lower in hierarchy than Ahirs and Jats also do not mention something like this. I think this is the Major problem in this page, seniors edtors may have a look.

Not done for now: However, I think your 6th reference is the strongest reason to remove it: "The general OBC category was, in fact, often used by a Yadav elite to promote its interests.". Only because this argument has been going on for over a decade, I'm loathe to change it on my own. @C.Fred:, I noticed you closed a few of these out recently, any thoughts? – macaddct1984(talk | contribs)23:30, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Partly done: Removed "non-elite", which seems to be the locus of the dispute. There is significant opposition backed by evidence, and the burden lies on those seeking to include. —Compassionate727(T·C)16:24, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your compassion is much appreciated, Compassionate727.
It's amusing that some individuals (edit and revert history highlights them) were dismissing historical, mythological, and British records as outdated and unreliable, insisting that the page should only focus on the modern-day Yadav. Ironically, their argument was countered using recent government documentation, effectively ending a decade-long struggle against persistent mischief and abuse of admin privileges.

@Dāsānudāsa, The Abhiras or Ahirs, the Gopas and the Yadavas were one and the same; as such, Krishna was an Ahir and, at the same time, a Gopa and a Yadava too. The Mahabharata uses all the three terms-Gopa, Yadava and Abhira-as synonyms. And so do many others, like Buddhaswamin (Brihatkathashlok-kathashloksamgraha), Jayadeva (Gita-govinda) and Amarasimha (Amarakosha).[1]2409:4085:9CCE:7ACA:0:0:8809:7C09 (talk) 19:41, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
According to @NXcrypto:, Pran Nath Chopra is not a reliable source, so I reverted myself. I don't know enough about him to me a decision either way. If someone more knowledgeable about these sources than myself wants to re-add it, they can. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 11:33, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
