Marthandanthurai

Contested PROD. Reason for PROD was "It's a beach. Nothing notable, though. It's probably a very nice beach." Fiddle  Faddle  09:43, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - The infobox in the article claims it is a town, but I can't find any sources that confirm this. In fact, I can't find many sources for this beach at all. This definitely fails the notability guideline for places. T  C  N7 JM  23:56, 13 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Switching to keep since the place has been verified. I saw the website for the place, but I didn't see that it was in the operational area. T  C  N7 JM  21:06, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. The settlement referred to in the article would appear to be here: 8.288°N, 77.105°W. Note that the Google Map shows bus stops labeled "Marthandanthurai Junction" and "Marthandanthurai School" there. I don't read the article as saying that Marthandanthurai is a beach, just that it has a beach. Admittedly, I can't find the settlement itself labeled on any online map, but any place that has its own Web site and is listed as being in the operational area (last line under "Villages") of the local archdiocese's social-security program is probably real enough to scrape by per WP:NPLACE.

 * Keep. Why the relisting? The deletion rationale has been refuted and nobody is supporting deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:06, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
