Non-notable. Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 13:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I don't have any problem to accept that this village is notable. But, based on what? Your statement. But WP doesn't allow them. Go through the very first line of WP:V. Add some citations that verify its notability. Hope that will work. Cheers -- Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 15:23, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
If a lack of sourcing is your issue with this article, then say so in the nom. Don't say "non-notable", because that is never an issue when towns or villages are concerned. If a village exists, it is by definition notable, no matter how small; if it doesn't exist, the article should obviously be deleted, but non-existence has nothing to do with non-notability.

  • Keep per long standing consensus that villages are inherently notable. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 13:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Nominator has no understanding of site policies. Charles Matthews (talk) 14:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

  • strong delete unless it can be shown to exist. Google maps just brings up a location in the National Park that doesn't even have a road running through it. Is it a ramblers' rest? --Paularblaster (talk) 16:36, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep and Rename to Calabash Boom, United States Virgin Islands or similar. Sources: Google Maps and PlaceNames.com —Travistalk 16:54, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Niaz Bhayia, Existing places are always notable. If the article lack of verifiable sources, then it should be tagged with proper template.--NAHID 19:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong, speedy keep. The nominator is being extremely unhelpful by nominating for deletion a series of articles on real places, simply because they have just been started (within an hour and a half of nomination) and I had not yet got around to adding further details - including references - which I planned to do today once I was awake and had a work break (and as I am currently in the process of doing). The nomination of brand new articles on communities is extremely unhelpful - I would advise the nominator to look for other things to busy him/herself with. Grutness...wha? 23:51, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
