The result was Keep. From the article it is not clear whether this is an inhabited place; if so it's inherently notable. If not, there appears to be sufficient coverage in reliable sources to the existence and importance of the place. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:38, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shakatapuram

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

Horribly, horribly written article that doesn't really contain an assertion of notability. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 19:06, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

No longer horribly written (and in fact is quite well written), but as it still doesn't really show or assert notability, I am not withdrawing the nomination at the moment. --Nlu (talk) 08:13, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I really don't even know if this is a person or place or whatever that this is supposed to be about. -- Dougie WII (talk) 19:16, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Change vote to Keep, at least it's understandable now. Appears to be a place considered holy by a major religion. -- Dougie WII (talk) 22:01, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails WP:N. MISSINGNO. was here. 20:39, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete could possibly be notable, but I really couldn't tell from this article. RMHED(talk) 20:44, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Amarrg's rewrite and sourcing. RMHED (talk) 19:53, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete very difficult to read, I have tried several times but still can't work out what the subject is. - Dumelow (talk) 21:39, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I have changed my opinion now that Amarrg has cleaned up the article and I can understand it. It is now well referenced to several Indian newspapers and fairly notable. - Dumelow (talk) 13:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - I have cleaned up the article now. Please have a look before taking a decision -- ¿Amar៛Talk to me/My edits 06:53, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Amar has established notability with multiple references in the national press. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:56, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Article describes a significant geographic place name, no different than thousands of other articles. It's similar to Mahabalipuram (which is in Britannica). Joema (talk) 13:56, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
