 * keep Agree with User:BL Lacertae It is probably as notable as Ridgecrest, Florida or some other census-designated place in the US, for instance. User:Mikereichold | User_talk:Mikereichold 01:22, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. I have cleaned up and referenced using what sources were available which wasn't a lot. Hopefully, a user more knowledgeable than I am about India will expand this in the fullness of time. I have removed sentences using Hindi phrases as I didn't understand what they meant.

 * weak delete. Sorry to break up the unanimous consensus here, but I can't find proof that this place exists. Google yields 5 hits, of which most are referring to a road, not a town. It is interesting to note that Pattukottai mentioned Vendakottai as one of it's suburbs until May 4 when someone removed it. I think that someone more knowledgeable in Indian geography than me is needed, but I'm leaning to possibly being either NN or hoax from the google test. --Bachrach44 15:08, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
