Qabool Khan Gadani

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Confusing article about a village. Unsourced. Is it a village, or simply a private resort for 1 family? &raquo; Shadowowl  &#124;  talk  12:00, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable. Absolutely no reliable sources found. Facebook page linked from article shows minimal activity. Newslinger (talk) 12:36, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - This looks like a distinct village. WP:NPLACE. I removed the nonsensical content and reduced it to a stub. --Oakshade (talk) 05:32, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Delete I had a very difficult time finding sources WP:V for this place until I clicked on the google map above - there's a geolocated photo on Google with the name of the village prominently displayed.

 * I don't think Google Maps is a reliable source (required by WP:NPLACE), since it uses user-generated content. Anyone can add a missing place right now, and Google Map Maker opened up even more editing capabilities to the public prior to March 2017. — Newslinger  talk  11:47, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think so either, but Google Street View could be, and there's a photo of the name of the village. A little bit WP:OR, but since Wikipedia's also a gazzeteer, I don't think it's a problem in this instance, especially where local sources may be difficult to find.

 * I'm willing to vote keep if there's a Street View (or equivalent) picture with the name of the village at that location. But, it looks like Street View isn't available there. Google only shows me a single photo uploaded by a user in August 2016. (The photo appears to be watermarked with the user's name in the lower right.) — Newslinger  talk  22:54, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You're right - on closer look it's not even clear that photo isn't photoshopped. SportingFlyer  talk  04:18, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I took another look at the photo, and the watermarked name is the same as the username of the article creator . The only piece of supporting evidence for this village's existence is a photo uploaded to Google Maps by the article creator himself. — Newslinger  talk  08:58, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * That definitely fails WP:V. Good catch. SportingFlyer  talk  22:17, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
