Lacks any reliable sources, and notability is severely questionable. The "..." was intended as sarcasm - if you look at the article you should see what I mean. It's copy/pasted from a domain of the same name, but doesn't look to be official in any sense of the word. --Magus05 (talk) 23:18, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and completely re-write - It's a real place with a real population. All towns and villages are notable regardless of size. --Oakshade (talk) 00:26, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
I took the liberty of being bold and "cleaning up" the article by removing all unverified information. All that remains is speculated location reported by [sathiala.com], although it doesn't appear to be very reputable. If it is indeed true that all villages are notable, then I'd prefer it wasn't just a copy/paste from a website. --Magus05 (talk) 03:09, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Listing incomplete nomination. –Pomte 08:37, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep It's clearly a real place [1] and a sackful of AfDs have shown that real places are held to be notable. Nick mallory (talk) 09:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep Real places are automatically notable. Pharmboy (talk) 14:49, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep. Real places are indeed always notable per consensus. There was a recent AfD in which an article about a place was deleted for being a hoax, but this passes WP:V. It doesn't matter if there are hundreds of thousands of tiny villages in India - they should all theoretically be notable - they just have to pass WP:V as existing as a census-designated place.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 02:50, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - Towns/villages are inherently notable regardless of size. Passes WP:V. --Oakshade (talk) 03:22, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
