Reason Ubed junejo (talk) 02:53, 6 July 2014 (UTC) This article is about a small village in Sindh, Pakistan. Though it is a real village but in my opinion is not notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. Though WP:GEOLAND states that ''Populated, legally-recognized places are typically considered notable, even if their population is very low. Even abandoned places can remain notable, because notability encompasses their entire history but WP:NRVE states that The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition and WP:NOTEWORTHY states that Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article. If the subject has not been covered outside of Wikipedia, no amount of improvements to the Wikipedia content will suddenly make the subject notable''. WP:NTEMP states ''A topic is "notable" in Wikipedia terms only if the outside world has already "taken notice of it". As such, brief bursts of news coverage may not be sufficient signs of notability, while sustained coverage would be, as described by notability of events.'' The village is not mentioned in credible and significant source, is not a historical place and can not be even found on a map. Therefore I think in good faith that Wikipedia should be free from such unimportant and insignificant topics and thus I believe that this article should be deleted. There are several other such articles on villages of same region. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ubed junejo (talk • contribs) 02:54, 6 July 2014‎ (UTC)

 * Keep Google Maps would disagree that it's not on the map. Village exists as a good-sized settlement.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 03:27, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Among the fundamental principles of Wikipedia is that we incorporate the features of a gazetteer into the encyclopedia, and this article is entirely appropriate. There is a general consensus that we should have articles about every city, town, village and hamlet on Earth. Please note that a statement of principles like the Five Pillars is given weight comparable to a guideline like WP:GNG. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  03:51, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
