Koduvila

Reads like an advertisement. Could not find reliable secondary sources to establish notability.  Samuel  Tan  02:52, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - Is this place supposed to be a town or village? Or what exactly is it since the article never actually states what it is.  As a viollage or town, it would be notable as a recognized population centre.  As a geogrpahic feature, it would also deserve a place in an encyclopedia.  -- Whpq (talk) 14:49, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. WP:RS are lacking and unreliable sources conflict. From the article: Koduvila is in East Kallada. East Kallada is a village according to the Kollam District website. The post office recognizes Koduvila addresses at Pin code 691502, variously at the Koduvila or Koduvila, East Kallada or East Kallada P.O. There is a big problem with WP:V. • Gene93k (talk) 10:35, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete It seems to me that if after all this time we can't even find reliable sources that state plainly what the subject is, it's probably not an acceptable article at this time. No prejudice against future re-creation if something more concrete (and hopefully better-written and less advertisement-like) shows up.  Also, the part about it being a world-famous tourist destination is pretty much obviously false... "Well, kids, it's either Disneyworld, the Grand Canyon, or Koduvila this year... let's take a vote!". Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:45, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - the article fails verifiability. If no reliable, third-party sources can be found for an article topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.  And considering the content would need to be rewritten anyways, recreation with actual sources would be a better route if this place were actually notable. -- Whpq (talk) 15:30, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - User:Nichalp has found one instance in government documents to establish it as a named and recognized population centre. There's also this document from elections that has a couple of candidates with addresses in Koduvila.  It still is woefully lacking in references. -- Whpq (talk) 11:40, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong keep Koduvila is a place in Kerala. By default, places are notable on wikipedia. This is taken from the government of Kerala education department.  =Nichalp   «Talk»=  18:35, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
