Shadore

Fails WP:GEOLAND per "legal recognition" in particular. A union council is the lowest legally recognized unit in Pakistan. This area is part of Shamdarra, so it is subordinate to a union council. It is also not listed here as a union, but Shamdarra is. Therefore, it should not have a standalone article, and existence alone is not sufficient to merit a redirect. The entirety of the content was created by a later-blocked sock. MSJapan (talk) 19:11, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
 * A union council may be the lowest level of government in Pakistan, but that doesn't mean that no smaller units are legally recognised. They are different concepts. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:33, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Comment - The question is not existence; a village passes if it is legally recognized - I haven't been able to determine that it is. MSJapan (talk) 16:44, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Villages satisfy WP:GEOLAND. Smartyllama (talk) 16:32, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - It's an actual population center and the businesses on g-maps identify their addresses in Shadore which means it's a distinct recognized town for post purposes. --Oakshade (talk) 21:15, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GEOLAND. The use in postal addresses is a form of legal recognition. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 10:19, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
