[edit] Sengottai

Sengottai (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article about a place in India was clearly written by a few users who are unfamiliar with how to write a good article on Wikipedia. I am not making a statement about the notability of the place. However, as it stands, the article needs a complete overhaul at the very least. If an expert on the geography of India can shed some light on this, that would be great; otherwise, it may need to be deleted. YechielMan 21:25, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

• Note - this kind of problem is often best handled by the {{cleanup}} tags, or, at most, a {{prod}}, in my experience going through some pretty bad pages at WP:DEAD. Part Deux 21:35, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
• keep and clean from looking at the what links here, it appears to be part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject India. Nobody is asserting that it is inaccurate or un-notable so I say keep it and try and get it cleaned up (maybe add a wikify tag as well) it's on the Wikipedia:Dead-end pages/L-Z so should be getting some attention soon.

• Keep. Real places are notable and a simple google search reveals that this is a real place [1]. I think it's the same place as Shenkottai though I could be wrong. Also, this nomination is not a proper use of AfD. cab 03:23, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
• Okay, I blew it. I spent a half hour trying to clean up the article, but someone beat me to it (edit conflict!) and did a better job anyhow. I don't make mistakes very often, but I made one in this case. Let's put a speedy keep on this article and move on. YechielMan 04:18, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
