Chhaoni

 * – ( View AfD View log )

De-PROD'd because the word "Chhaoni" is used in some addresses that appear in books. However, that doesn't mean that it denotes a settlement that meets GEOLAND. There is no Chhaoni in Nagpur district on the 2011 Census of India, which is wonderfully comprehensive and also searchable. It also doesn't appear in the village lists of theNagpur district handbook for that census, so we can safely conclude that it isn't a legally-recognized settlement.

Now we ask whether it's an unrecognized settlement that still meets GEOLAND, which I do not believe it is. On Google Maps, you can see that the coordinates for Chhaoni in Nagpur district refer you to Chhaoni Road. By clicking nearby shops you can see that the format of Indian mailing addresses frequently include nearby roads, such as "Shop no. G2&G3 Shanti enclave 749/750 Koradi road, Chhaoni Rd, Nagpur, Maharashtra 440001, India", for a location near the intersection of Chhaoni and Koradi Roads. Clearly, a word appearing in an address does not indicate that it is a settlement, but merely a direction for the postal service.

At best, Chhaoni is a non-notable informal designation for an area inside the larger neighborhood of Rajnagar or New Colony (depending on what side of Chhaoni Road you're on), which are themselves non-notable unofficial neighborhoods of Nagpur. It's not worth a redirect to Nagur, because it would be totally undue to mention it there, and neither Rajnagar or New Colony have articles. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 20:02, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I'm starting to agree with the proposer. The addresses of businesses I found at the location give their pin code as 440013.  Looking up post offices at that pin code finds two less than 1km to the west of Chhaoni Road, both well inside the city of Nagpur. SpinningSpark 23:15, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
