No sources found for this place in Mathura district. The article was previously undeleted claiming notability in the reason, but I do not think the place is actually notable. GeoffreyT2000 ( talk,  contribs ) 01:21, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GEOLAND. The article is bad, but this place definitly exists. Its a pretty large village/town in the Mathura district, its located here on Google maps. Here is an article in the Deccan Chronicle which mentions it, and here is another (similar) one in the The Siasat Daily. Here the data on this village in the 2011 Census of India which has been conducted by the Indian government (Official raw census data is here in an xls file). If you google it you find more mentions of it, eg here are some kind of police station reports (?) listed which also mention the village. It fulfills the criteria laid out in the WP:GEOLAND guideline. It is a populated legally recognized place (~13,000 inhabitants) and the existence is confirmed by the mentions in multiple news outlets as well as official Indian government sources. Its true the article is in a bad state, but thats no reason for deletion. The topic is clearly notable by our criteria and therefore should be kept. Dead Mary (talk) 11:17, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I tidied it up a bit but its still a stub. Would probably need some locals and/or Urdu/Hindi speakers which are the local languages there. Dead Mary (talk) 11:45, 11 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep per Dead Mary. Real verified and official population center. --Oakshade (talk) 05:52, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep, unquestionably satisfies WP:GEOLAND, and thanks to Dead Mary for the cleanup and locating sources. Antepenultimate (talk) 01:31, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep No dispute here per WP:GEOLAND. Nom seems to have failed to perform WP:BEFORE which states "If there are verifiability, notability or other sourcing concerns, take reasonable steps to search for reliable sources...The minimum search expected is a normal Google search, a Google Books search, a Google News search, and a Google News archive search".
