Amritha Nagar

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable populated place. No reliable references provided, or available, of notability. It exists, surely, but is not notable. '' ▒ Wirεłεşş ▒ Fidεłitұ ▒ Ćłâşş ▒ Θnε ▒ ―Œ  ♣Łεâvε Ξ мεşşâgε♣  11:14, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Not notable residence, no reliable sources indicating notability of this place. --Vejvančický (talk) 16:43, 25 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. All settlements are notable. Sources almost certainly exist, even if they can't easily be found online. - Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:23, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Is Amritha Nagar suburb or city district? I can't say, according to the article it is a residence colony in the Thiruvananthapuram. Should I create an article about a block of houses where I live? It is a beautiful part of a city district and there is even a high school nearby. It is possible to call it a residence colony, but my place is surely not notable for this project. The question remains: Is Amritha Nagar suburb? The sources don't say much. --Vejvančický (talk) 15:43, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment As much as my personal knowledge goes (which is, I must say, original research), it is only a block of a handful of colonies. That's why this should be a delete. '' ▒ Wirεłεşş ▒ Fidεłitұ ▒ Ćłâşş ▒ Θnε ▒ ―Œ  ♣Łεâvε Ξ мεşşâgε♣  05:00, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: It is most likely to be a neighbourhood. Question is how big?. "Nagar" translates to city in Hindi/Tamil/Malayalam. Most of the residential developments start out as just development projects of few houses/promoted city blocks and eventually grow into suburbs by absorbing the nearby neighbourhoods. Wikimapia indicates an area of about 250 m X 250 m which includes the school and the math building. Is it enough to get an article of its own?--Sodabottle (talk) 14:11, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 200x200 sq mtrs is not enough if the place does not have a historical context or a geographical context (e.g. a major culmination point for a national highway). But for a colony, no, it is not notable. '' ▒ Wirεłεşş ▒ Fidεłitұ ▒ Ćłâşş ▒ Θnε ▒ ―Œ  ♣Łεâvε Ξ мεşşâgε♣  03:31, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment: is there any way to tell whether this is (1) a municipality or other political entity, (2) the common name for a certain neighborhood, (3) a housing development, (4) a planned resort, or (5) something else?  I have no idea what "colony" means in this context.  If it's (1) or (2), I would vote to keep; if it's (3) or (4), or if we really can't tell, then to delete.

 * Comment If this blog is a guide, the place is some sort of housing development which means it is akin to a neighborhood. We do have articles on neighborhoods so I'd lean toward a weak keep (if I were not agnostic on keeping or deleting the article!). --RegentsPark (sticks and stones) 15:57, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I do believe it is the original contributor's work to provide reliable sources for us to acknowledge the size of the area. If none of us editors have been able to find even one reliable source after so many days of this AfD getting listed, and if the original contributor has not improved the article till now, should we be keeping an article on a housing development/colony/neighbourhood that has no evidence that it is large enough to be included?

 * Delete. Small residential colony with no special claims to be notable. Salih  ( talk ) 04:12, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete there's no evidence available that this is a large enough neighborhood to fall under WP:AFDP. In the absence of any such verifiability from reliable sources this has to go. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  01:47, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
