 * Keep Clearly not one of the world's biggest populated places, but a town whose existence can be confirmed and has potential encyclopaedic importance (though needing significant enhancement to the current text). I've added a couple of sources found via Google Books. AllyD (talk) 21:05, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. The "x is a village" entries are some of the worst content on Wikipedia, there are hundreds of them and many of them are garbled, barely coherent and unsourced; occasionally I will redirect one to its parent region if the entry seems unsalvageable. This one has been improved since the nomination, and general practice (for good or for bad) is that any populated region named on a map is notable. See Notability (geographic features) for a discussion, (although note that it's a discussion and not policy). Hairhorn (talk) 17:42, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
