Bandarban hill

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Delete or redirect to Bandarban District. There is no need for an extra article for a hill. Dengero (talk) 02:02, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 *  Keep and move to Bandarban (village) . It appears the creator was trying to make an article for this village but didn't know what to do when "Bandarban", as in the district, was already an article so they added "hill" to it because it was near a tall hill.  I've cleaned it up somewhat.  This does appear to be a rather significant village with its own high school and even a stadium. --Oakshade (talk) 02:45, 18 August 2011 (UTC) UPDATE: Changed to Delete based on Pontificalibus' research below.  Bandarban Town can certainly have its own article and if it was a similar town in the United States or the United Kingdom, it most likely would've by now.--Oakshade (talk) 18:30, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * FYI @Oakshade, you are completely mistaken here. The stadium, high school, as well as the map linked here belong to the town of Bandarban, which is the headquarter of the Bandarban District. If the authors meant that, then the article needs to be redirected to the district page. If not, then the article is either a hoax, or a non-notable village by the same name (I suspect whether the village even exists at all!!). --Ragib (talk) 09:20, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm just going by g-maps, which is considered a reliable source for verification and it definitely shows a village with the name "Bandarban". Many districts/states/counties/provinces can have municipalities within them with the same name.  Veracruz, Veracruz for example.  If Bandarban is a town as you say, then it can have an article.--Oakshade (talk) 14:44, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Because I can't verify there is a village called "Bandarban" or "Bandarban hill", or that there is a hill called "Bandarban hill". The settlement linked to in Google maps by Oakshade above appears to be Bandarban Town, which could certainly have it's own article, but that's something to be decided outwith this discussion. There is no verified information to merge and we can't redirect if we are unsure of its existence.--Pontificalibus (talk) 16:28, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
