  • Comment What evidence do you have that this is a hoax? The references in the article seem to establish that this village exists. Whether it's notable enough for an article is another question. Thomjakobsen 16:40, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment It seems to be a real place, at least in India[1] if not Iran. Would keep per WP:OUTCOMES pending verification. Wl219 17:11, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment That would appear to be a different Karabad. The maps linked to in the article, when zoomed out, indicate a village in western Iran. The Indian Karabad appears to be a cave complex in Madhya Pradesh, which is central India. Thomjakobsen 17:36, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Both included extlinks indicate that it does exist and is in Iran. DMacks 17:21, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep - This article is clearly not a hoax, but merely a stub. Please review WP:DELETE. --Evb-wiki 17:40, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and add a Notability tag. The article is fairly new and it needs to provide sources establishing the notability of this village (article suggests it's undergoing rapid growth due to discoveries of oil). We have no reason at this stage to believe it's not notable, so it should be kept and reconsidered later. Thomjakobsen 17:44, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment It doesn't need a notability tag. According to WP:OUTCOMES, "Cities and villages are notable, regardless of size". Zagalejo 22:55, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Cheers, noted. Thomjakobsen 23:29, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep per Evb-wiki. --Djsasso 17:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Iran-related deletions. -- Thomjakobsen 17:46, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep This is a perfectly good stub about a real place. It's a good idea to do a quick google search about a subject you've never heard of prior to labeling it a hoax. OfficeGirl 18:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep - Sources will be needed to confirm the last sentence, but it is not deleteable. Zouavman Le Zouave 20:04, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - per WP:OUTCOMES. Once again, locations such as this are notable just for being there, regardless of their size. The nom's rationale for deletion is ridiculous; the sources obviously prove its existance.--Boricuæddie 02:13, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep per above discussion. All real towns and villages (larger than, say, 10 persons) are per se notable and worthy of inclusion in English WP. Sorry, I can't WP:AGF here: this is a lousy nom if I've ever seen one. Bearian 18:35, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
