After a good-faith search, I could find no sources to verify the village's notability. me_and (talk) 11:39, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Found it via Google Earth. Quite a large village, as is most villages in India. Its a geographical location with a village at that location. It is clearly notable, the same as 1000's of other village and town articles in WP. It needs geographical sources that's all. scope_creep (talk) 22:03, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't see what is "clear" about the village's notability; if it were clear, I wouldn't have nominated it. Further, the fact that WP:OTHERSTUFF exists is not an indicator for this article to be deleted. Per nom, if the village were notable, I would expect to have been able to find sources discussing it; the fact that WP:ITEXISTS is not relevant to WP:N. me_and (talk) 00:52, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This is probably the largest town/village/population center I've seen thrown up for AfD. Looks like a village to me. [1] Even if it was 1/8th of the size, I'd still vote "keep". Population centers are inherently notable. --Oakshade (talk) 01:57, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As a real village it is inherently notable. Edward321 (talk) 01:47, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep real cities/towns/villages are inherently notable; nominating them is divisive and accomplishes nothing but anger and angst. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 14:50, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
