Karinkuzhi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence that this village exists, this article has existed since 2006 and is unsourced, there aren't even coordinates. Nothing on Google/Bing Maps, OpenStreetMap etc. A search for this name returns (apart from Wikipedia mirrors) the name of a person and not that of a place. This is one of the longest running hoaxes in the history of the encyclopedia. -  C HAMPION  (talk) (contributions) (logs) 04:09, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete There's a road called Karinkuzhi Road, and it is indeed, as this article claims, just north of a couple of places called Echilamvayal (the article is by the same author), but as far as I can tell it is just a road. I can't find anything that establishes this an an entire village. Adam9007 (talk) 00:26, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
