The result was   delete. Core policy must inform this closure. MelanieN and PWilkinson have raised serious concerns about the verifiability of the existence of this village. Indeed, the article's sole source is a religious blog that mentions "Komathampatti Village" only once in passing. The two "keep" opinions ignore this problem and talk about notability, even though notability is not at all an issue here, as MelanieN explains.  Sandstein  19:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment This is problematic. Generally, inhabited places are a "keep" if their existence can be confirmed. I found only a few, not very reliable sources for the existence of this village in the state of Tamil Nadu. For example, Wikimapia and references in missionary newsletters. I do believe it exists, but searching was complicated, because the search sometimes came up with Karumathampatti instead, which is a suburb of Coimbatore, also in Tamil Nadu. Because of the ambiguity of the two places in the same state with such similar/often confused names, and the lack of reliable sourcing about the village, it might be best to delete this article unless someone can find more reliable verification. --MelanieN (talk) 17:28, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep as per established practice to have an article for each place. The content appears valid but it needs review by someone with knowledge of the area or Hindi to do a proper search (WikiProject India). -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 14:36, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment Google Maps shows a place called Muthampatti at about the right distance from Dharmapuri. No idea whether this was the intended subject or not. PWilkinson (talk) 22:06, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
