Vardough

Article on a village with no references. I was unable to find any verification of its existence. Of course, if verification of it arises, it can be speedy kept. Otherwise it should be deleted.  Jujutacular  T · C 17:07, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I was about to say "Of course it's notable, it's a village." But so far I can't find any evidence of a place with this name.  There does appear to be a small village approximately 5 miles from Miyaneh with the Latin character spelling of Vardevaq."   If this is the place the article creator meant, I wouldn't be opposed to Rename Vardevaq.--Oakshade (talk) 17:28, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Probably alternate transliterations. No way to be sure however without a reliable source. I would be fine with the creation of Vardevaq  Jujutacular  T · C 17:37, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Delete. I'd guess that this is Vardevaq (or Vardūq, as the GEOnet Names Server calls it) based on the location, but unless there's a source, that can't really be proven. Since practically everything in the article is unsourced/unverifiable anyway, nothing will be lost by deleting this article and creating one for Vardevaq. (If anyone finds a source for the name Vardough, the article should just be moved.) TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 23:39, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename Place with this name seems to exist, there's a Persian Wikipedia page on it   and a reasonable number of "natural" GHits mentioning it in Persian(e.g. not just endless lists of placenames copied and recopied from geographic databases, like in the English hits). "Vardough" is a slightly odd but certainly reasonable transcription of that (transcribing  "و" as "ou" instead of "u", and "ق" as "gh" instead of "q"). cab (talk) 00:30, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll take your word for it on the transcription, since I don't speak Persian; I'm changing my !vote to Keep and rename based on that evidence. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 01:33, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
