Barabasti

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Doesn't pass WP:GNG. No reliable third-party sources. MickeyNort (talk) 16:44, 26 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep Its accurate. Found a number of villages in Google Earth, in Uttar Pradesh and Barabasti name also seems to exist. Google books has a number of sources describing and linking to the location. The missing articles for India's locations also has an entry for the location. scope_creep (talk) 19:36, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The article has no sources, and also content seems like original research. Please add the sources you found so it meets WP:GNG MickeyNort (talk) 18:48, 26 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment "Bara basti" means "Large village" in Hindi. (see So it's obvious why user:scope_creep finds lots of sources in Google. There must be a lot of places and villages  in the Indian region with this name. For example in Kohima. MickeyNort (talk) 18:52, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment Give us some references - and a geo locating ref - to say which place this is. And reference the 'notable' people from there. Then I'll make up my mind. Peridon (talk) 21:03, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment If you search for Barabasti in Google Earth, it takes you to a location in Utter Pradesh. Search for each of the villages, you find that a lot of them are in that same area. scope_creep (talk) 18:52, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * So what? This article is pure original research. It's not based on any reliable source. Unless a reliable source is given, this is deletable material. If this AfD closes as keep or no concensus and no sources will be added, I'll renominate it right thereafter. MickeyNort (talk) 18:16, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. The place is verifiable: The Tribune and All India reporter: Volume 1. By the way, "Bara Basti" here literally means "12 populated places", and most of the Google hits are for another "Bara Basti" (literally "large populated place") in Kohima. utcursch | talk 05:28, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - The place is verifiable. The article just needs some refs. Joaquin008  ( talk ) 13:08, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keepas a verifiable and inhabited geographic location. There's an alternate translation of the name: Barah Basti (part of the source issue is the translation) and that term gains a few more sources on gbooks. This one shows that it played a significant role in the Indian Rebellion of 1857. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  16:48, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
