• keep no messier than a lot of other Indian village stubs. Grutness...wha? 01:00, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
• keep Agree with User:BL Lacertae It is probably as notable as Ridgecrest, Florida or some other census-designated place in the US, for instance. User:Mikereichold | User_talk:Mikereichold 01:22, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. I have cleaned up and referenced using what sources were available which wasn't a lot. Hopefully, a user more knowledgeable than I am about India will expand this in the fullness of time. I have removed sentences using Hindi phrases as I didn't understand what they meant.

• Keep. For future reference, if an article needs cleanup instead of deletion, tags like {{unreferenced}} or {{expansion}} are useful. Ziggurat 03:09, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • normaly id have done that but i was disputing a Prod so had to bring it here. BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard 09:39, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

• Please keep, Wikipedia still at its early stage, i am sure many articles will soon get developed and expanded. Indrajitneogi 04:50, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, a real place is notable enough and encyclopaedic. --Terence Ong 08:52, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep it's got a good list of schools, which indicates a reasonable sized population. Tyrenius 09:46, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - real place, and we have articles on real places of all sizes. Metamagician3000 11:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep While it needs to be expanded, there is no need for it to be deleted. --Matterbug 14:28, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
• weak delete. Sorry to break up the unanimous consensus here, but I can't find proof that this place exists. Google yields 5 hits, of which most are referring to a road, not a town. It is interesting to note that Pattukottai mentioned Vendakottai as one of it's suburbs until May 4 when someone removed it. I think that someone more knowledgeable in Indian geography than me is needed, but I'm leaning to possibly being either NN or hoax from the google test. --Bachrach44 15:08, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
