Mech is name imposed on Boro people. Boro is proper designation. No mech call themself Mech. There is no difference between Boro and Mech. Only for linguistic purpose , sometimes scholars differentiate Mech and Kachari (Boro) language. Both mech and kachari are names given by others. They have their proper name.

Keep: There exists a Mech denomination of people who may or may not self-identify with the Boro people. We need some more information before we can merge this with the Boro people article or delete it. ( http://wbnorthbengaldev.gov.in/HtmlPage/mech.aspx). Chaipau ( talk) 17:30, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Today, Most Place inhabited by Mech or Boro are called Boroland because mech was never proper name. Just for the sake of politics, Somebody can use name give to Boro people and create a community. Assam don't lack such example - For example , Historically there was nothing called Kachari muslim but Government of Assam started to designate new group of people called Kachari muslim. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/assam-govt-for-economic-survey-of-kachari-muslims/article30926943.ece . Chaipau claim looks like politically motivated to misuse barbarian name given to Boro people Logical Man 2000 ( talk) 18:23, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
@ Phil Bridger: Sir, Let's assume Mech is ambiguous name and It was imposed on wide range people where some people called themselves Boro and some people did't call themselves Boro. Historically, Mechs of Undivided Goalpara (Shown in the image of Grierson's book) called themselves Boro. This the reason, Today that region is known as Boroland. If somebody from different region also call themselves Mech or Mleccha then we should divide our Mech or Mleccha based on region. Mleccha is ambiguous name. This is my opinion to handle the situation. This matter is sensitive. Government pages are copying from Wikipedia. A community can have many St-certificate, for example : Dimasa people have more than two certificates - Hojai , Dimasa , Barman , Kachari etc. This ST certificate don't give any scholarly explanation.

Consensus to Keep it for now .
