Keelakanavai

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unverifiable, unsourced, repeatedly tagged as such. The best I found is Perambalur police, which confirms that a hamlet of this name exists. Google searches for Keelakanavai, Keelakkanavai, Keezhakkanavai or கீழக்கனவாய் provide no other sources whatsoever, and a grand total of less than 15 total hits, including Wikipedia. Different versions of the article provided conflicting information: Elevation 1,316 m, population 855, elevation 6 m, population 500, elevation 143 m, population 400.

 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:37, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment I nominated an article on a small, apparently unpopulated island for deletion some weeks ago. Several people !voted keep on the basis that geographic locations are "inherently notable", although no one, including the admin who closed the AfD, could direct me to where this is stated or implied. Eventually I gave up in frustration. The proposal Notability (Places and transportation) seems to be based on populated places and is really just restating general notability guidelines (which the aforementioned island did not meet). Can anyone point me at something which outlines "inherently notable" things? Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 17:06, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Longstanding precedent recognises that populated places (and islands too) are notable, as long as we can verify that they exist. If you don't think that there are sufficient sources for this specific community, perhaps consider merging to Perambalur district?  Nyttend (talk) 04:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to lowest level containing administrative division that has an article. The taluk should probably have an article but there doesn't seem to be one so the district article is probably the best place to go at the moment. --Polaron | Talk 13:54, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  JForget  23:16, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. Borderline on notability, but the police station website still establishes that it's a real and inhabited place. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 02:50, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Further research indicates that this is actually a subdivision of a village (Velur village in Perambalur taluk). A village is the smallest entity that Census India tabulates data for. --Polaron | Talk 03:52, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * On the risk of sounding like WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, there are many other villages like this. i.e. Wyatt, Indiana, Westfield, St. Joseph County, Indiana Also, see Articles for deletion/Chadwick Airport. Pie is good   (Apple is the best)  23:37, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * In this case, it would be like an article on a section/neighborhood of Wyatt or Westfield. --Polaron | Talk 02:53, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
