Unsourced and fails notability guidelines — Шαмıq ☪   тαʟκ✍ @ 22:27, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * tentative Keep It does not fail the notability guideline because all villages are notable . But it is necessary for the information to be verified by some sort of source, even a non-independent official web site. and some editing to remove the list of local dignitaries is clearly needed.

 * This village is still non-notable. No sources cover ‘Dehla Chattha’ village. According to WP:GNG:
 * If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list.


 * "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material.
 * And here the issue is that no source covers the subject, so it fails the very first requirement for being notable. And as to verifiability, agreed with  DGG. — Шαмıq ☪   тαʟκ✍ @ 19:08, 23 September 2013 (UTC)


 * This place appears on Google Maps. I've added the coordinates to the article. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:45, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep As Phil Bridger noted, this village appears on Google Maps and Google has a reputation for fact checking when it comes to their maps. Thus the village existence is verifiable and per WP:NPLACE, articles on villages that are verifiable are generally kept. --Mark viking (talk) 00:20, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Even if material added to the article is completely unsourced? — Шαмıq   ☪   тαʟκ✍ @ 13:02, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not completely unsourced, but is sourced by the coordinates link to Google Maps. I would add that Google Maps, although usually correct, has been known to include incorrect information. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:08, 2 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Wazirabad Tehsil the parent subdivision of this village as I couldn't find any encyclopedic information in reliable sources except that this place exists. -- S M S   Talk 17:28, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - as per Wikipedia's remit as a gazzeteer under the five pillars, a populated place that can be verified to exist is notable. The article needs a good scrubbing and stubbing but AfD is not for cleanup. - The Bushranger One ping only 12:04, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
