 * Keep. Listed as a village on the 2011 Indian Census, as the reference in the article says. So passes WP:GEOLAND. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:20, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * delete per WP:GEOLAND is a bad guideline and this needs some WP:TNT so someone who knows something can create a decent article. This is likely a real place, but a line in a census isn't enough for a separate article. The only geographic claim is vague, unsourced, and as best I could check fails verification. GNS is very sketchy and I don't know what other source we would use to reliably source the location. I assume all these issues are going to be ignored and the article we be kept as-is, but really we need to stop keeping junk permastub articles just to satisfy a guideline which people complain about constantly.

 * Whether you think it's a "bad guideline" or not is irrelevant. It is one. Some people complain about it. Many people support it. A few of the usual suspects complaining about it every time it's mentioned doesn't mean it should be scrapped. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:13, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment: "a line in a census isn't enough for a separate article". Actually, one line for a village in one of the Indian Census's spreadsheets carries a lot of information. Hundreds of columns. No prose but a lot of stats. You could get a pretty good 1-2 paragraph stub out of that one line. -- A. B. (talk • contribs •  global count)  01:21, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep. But More work needs to be done!Micheal Kaluba (talk) 14:52, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Expansion is desirable but not strictly necessary.  Real villages with census entries get articles per WP:GEOLAND a guideline which is correct in this case.  Eluchil404 (talk) 05:07, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per the WP:GEOLAND. Bhalgaon (भाल्गओं) has 3,119 inhabitants, as of 2011. It has the Postal Index Number code of 344706 and a government office, which grants it legal recognition. Site https://localbodydata.com/gram-panchayat-bhalgaon-35028 indicates key people like the sarpanch which proves inhabited. बिनोद थारू (talk) 05:16, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
