Bagla

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not-really-sourced stub which admits that the place probably doesn't exist and speculates as to why. The only source doesn't give a location, which other than the name would appear to be the only factual claim. I have to assume that this was dumped in from some sort of geographical database, but as we know from experience, these aren't good enough as sole sources; really there is no proof that this name is valid.

 * Keep, sourced, the place may no longer exist, but notability encompasses its entire history. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:09, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It doesn't have a history, at least not in our article. Mangoe (talk) 20:34, 15 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. Comment It will take me some time to look into the details of this Afd, but I wanted to note that I agree about the speculation; the second sentence ("It is suspected...") constitutes original research. I've removed it. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 19:20, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * When I use GEOnet search on Bagla, it comes back with this match: "Bagla  (Unverified - D)". If this means what I think it means, then Bagla may or may not have ever existed. That isn't good enough for notability. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 19:58, 15 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete- I PRODed this article earlier because I could not verify that Bagla ever existed, under any name. There were no sources to be found anywhere. Out of curiosity I put its alleged latitude and longitude into google satellite view, to see if they matched a populated place, and it turned out to be a place on the outskirts of Ərkivan village; Google maps does not have an individual name for it. It cannot even be reliably verified that this place ever existed. Reyk  YO!  03:35, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. I've given my rationale in a very similar case at Articles for deletion/Gasaneri (2nd nomination). Deor (talk) 15:39, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
