Puri Beach

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a stub about a beach in India which asserts no notability. Gilliam 06:34, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Geographical features have a measure of inherent notability. This can of course be taken too far, but if rivers and mountains are good enough, beaches don't seem like much of a stretch. The article could certainly use some expansion though. Deranged bulbasaur 07:14, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. ("Weak" because the article is only a sentence long.) The beach is the apparently the venue of some sort of festival, and apparently a tourist attraction it itself. Sjakkalle (Check!)  10:11, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Puri; currently not enough content to merge or sustain an independent article. --Huon 11:07, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect per lack of info Corpx 16:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above. Real places are inherently notable, but unless this article actually says something about the beach, it's only worth a redirect. J I P  | Talk 17:36, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Many beaches are notable, and strong claims are made on behalf of this one. The weakness of the article appears to represent systemic bias towards poor coverage of Third World topics, which will be made worse if articles like this one are not given a chance.

 * Keep Geographical features like this are notable.--JForget 23:06, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. My opinion shifted from redirect. Geographical features are notable and there are many Ghits testifying to its tourism notability for an interested editor to find a reliable source. Canuckle 23:34, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is an important tourist attraction. Axl 06:48, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Geographical features like beaches are usually notable. This one is as it's a popular tourist destination and serves several major metropolitan areas. --Oakshade 15:42, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
