• Delete I don't think it's patent nonsense, it's just very, very poorly written. ghits were this article and random articles containing the words "Gohar" and "Chowk", so it seems to fail on notability as well as being original research. Beeblbrox (talk) 17:15, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. Its obviosly about a geographic location, and therefore inherently notable. I began a cleanup on the article. I wish I was able to do more work on the article but its sources are obviouly in a foreign language. Please take note of WP:BIAS. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 04:59, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

• comment Not so sure about your logic there, Brewcrewer, as I was not able to find any sources that actually used the words "Gohar Chowk 8" together as one place name, I think this probably fails on verifiability, but maybe if we could find the author or someone who speaks/reads the relevant language we could get some clarity...

• comment The article seems more about 2 people than a place.Clearly a reader will not understand what it is about.Same not able to find any sources.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 18:25, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Agreed that the two people take up a disproportionate amount of the article, but as any stub, it takes time to take to take the correct form, etc. The vast majority of geographic location articles include a section of its notable residents.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 15:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. This shows that it exists as a village (although I'm sure the inhabitants wouldn't like it to be their main claim to fame!). The Chak/Chowk stuff comes from a Punjabi custom of using numbers for villages - see Chak (village). Phil Bridger (talk) 21:44, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
• ok ok, Keep per the improvements to the article, thanks for the effort guys! Beeblbrox (talk) 03:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
