The result was keep. In contrast to the two previous relists, I see that The Bushranger's comment, when combined with Pepper's evidence and the speedy-keep of Raka, Tibet quoted in the nomination, constitute an adequate consensus that Bamê is a real, verifiable, populated locality, and its article should therefore be kept.

 * Comment: per Wikipedia's remit as a gazetteer, populated places that can be verified through reliable sources are always notable. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:53, 8 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: A possible match to Bamê is the village of Bamei (巴美村) in Deqen County, Yunnan, at 28.84361°N, 98.67694°W along the Yunnan–Tibet AR border. GotR Talk 18:54, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Near the coords GotR supplied: Bing Maps says "Bamê", Google Maps says "Bameicun", OSM says "Bame". Falling rain has a page for Bame, including coords, weather, and elevation. However, Google images for Bameicun shows a lot more promising results than Bame, China.
 * Per above, "Bamei" (according to Fallingrain) is at 30.4875°N, 101.47722°W, while Bame is at 28.83333°N, 98.66667°W. From that, I'd say Bamei is not the same as Bame/Bamê. From that, I'm inclined to say keep.  " Pepper "  @ 12:51, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
