 * Keep: Its a reservoir dam. Thats it's notability. And looking at the size, catchment area, capacity, number of spillways and a big blue spot in the map i think it is notable enough. I couldn't find any established notability criteria of dams and hence have asked WP:DAMS over here to comment here or direct us to the notability. Irrespective of what they say, the numbers demand that the article be kept. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 08:41, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep It isn't the grandest of dams but reliably sourced and notable. There is no set notability for dams but the standard in general is low. This dam is quite long, a decent height and has a set civil purpose. Micohydro plants, check dams, most weirs and small dams (<~5 meters) probably don't rate a stand-alone article. This article will probably never be a good or featured article but it is enough to stand-alone. Renaming it as a dam may be good too.--NortyNort (Holla) 20:22, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
