Helan, Mandi Bahauddin

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is about a village near Mandi Bahauddin, Pakistan. The village exists and is mentioned in a Pakistani online newspaper, here. Its history goes back into antiquity and should welcome here. However, I think the article is in such poor shape that it qualifies for WP:TNT. It remained in its current state since March, 2014 -- I eat BC Fish (talk) 19:59, 29 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Withdrawn by nominator - Changes by PWilkinson address the issue I had - namely the quality of the content of the article. I've added an external link that mentions the Village in a Pakistani weekly journal. I eat BC Fish (talk) 21:58, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Keep per WP:GEOLAND. Underneath the poor English and punctuation and the complete lack of Wikification, there was actually a serious attempt at a reasonable article. I think I've now salvaged enough from the first few sentences of the article for a one-paragraph stub, and there might be something more to salvage from the rest of the article (though I am almost certain that all the material on Alexander the Great will have to go - I get the impression that most places in Pakistan claim to have been founded by him). Note that, as is often the case with Pakistani topics, transliteration can be a problem - a number of potential sources seem to spell the name as "Helaan".
