Akshaya Bhandar

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Just another neighbourhood that exists. In 2017, I had added a notability tag to it, which was quickly removed sneakily (without edit summary).

I performed an internet search today, and it is still not notable. All I could find was a few mentions in non-notable, local sources. Most of them were like directories, and/or about something from the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood itself lacks significant coverage, making it just another run of the mill neighbourhood that exists. Nothing to make it stand out, no notability. —usernamekiran (talk) 21:04, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Comments. I spent some time looking for English sources. Akshaya Bhandar is a real place, but I would describe it as a neighbourhood (in Canadian usage) rather than a suburb. Google Maps shows Akshaya Bhandar as a well-defined area bounded by roads, rather than just as a point of interest. Mysore South lists several suburbs, but the list is not referenced. This Google Search shows lots of companies either giving addresses in or next to Akshaya Bhandar. Searching for ಅಕ್ಷಯ ಭಾನದರ್ doesn't give me any results except for some photos that are either from Wikipedia or not very relevant. [www.onefivenine.com/india/villages/Mysore/Mysore/Akshaya-Bhandar This map page] is further recognition of Akshaya Bhandar, but perhaps it was influenced by the Wikipedia article. Some shop owners in Akshaya Bhandar engage in illegal garbage dumping, according to this article.
 * I don't know what to say, but I would prefer not to lose the information in the article, and I'm not sure that there is an obvious merger target. Someone else should search in non-English sources for ಅಕ್ಷಯ ಭಾನದರ್  if that is the correct name. Maybe we should leave marginal cases like this one alone.

 * Hi. Yes, it does exist, but it is not notable. It is neighbourhood, and thats the problem. In India, there are thousands of neighbourhoods. We cant keep creating/preserving articles on non-notable neighbourhoods. —usernamekiran (talk) 15:18, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep. I agree with Eastmain that there is some valuable content here that should be preserved in some fashion. I would suggest considering where and how this content could be incorporated under a suitable encyclopedia topic. This might require creating a new article with a broader scope (such as a regional page). Our coverage of this geographic region is pretty poor at the moment. In other words; with no suitable merge target at the moment, keep per WP:PRESERVE.4meter4 (talk) 22:28, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
