Does not meet WP:N and WP:PLACEOUTCOMES, no valid source (again again...).

 * Delete - Fails verification per WP:V. The only source provided in the article is a very general link to the Sri Lankan office of statistics. It is not at all clear where you are supposed to look on that very extensive website in order to find information about the subject. After clicking through a number of windows I tried downloading the 2011 Housing and Population survey from the website but it failed to open, and I also note it is described as being based on a 5% sample which makes me wonder if it really will contain any information about this supposed village as apparently only 5% of Sri Lanka was surveyed. The location given in the article is a random location in the village of Kawudupelella. From experience, this article was probably created based on data from GEONet Names Server, which is an unreliable source for this purpose. FOARP (talk) 09:59, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 362 Thanks for this link. very helpful Hongsy (talk) 12:43, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @FOARP
 * Thanks for going through each nom in detail. Is there really a need to nominate the other Iran villages, one by one, or can we ask admin to bulk delete? Hongsy (talk) 12:50, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The issue is that whilst it was easy to get consensus to delete the unpopulated abadi, and the abadi with names that clearly indicated that they weren't villages, the remaining ones are harder to get consensus to delete.
 * For the location articles sourced only to GNS in e.g., Sri Lanka, the objection is always going to be that some of them may be improvable, despite many, many of them failing verification. FOARP (talk) 13:15, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
