Town in an Indian District. Article is a long and plodding travel guide with one deadlink of a reference. After searching for notability in the news and on the web (removing facebook and wikipedia as search terms), I came up with a lot of maps and addresses of local businesses. Also, Wikipedia is not a travel guide. I, Jethrobot drop me a line 05:00, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - I've never seen an article of a town with over 17,000 population up for AfD before. Per long standing convention, population centers are inherently notable regardless of size.  Just by looks this appears to be a major town.   WP:NOTTRAVEL is about including content on "every tourist attraction, restaurant, hotel or venue, etc.,"  not simply having an article about a town/city.  If there is excessive tourist detail, that's a matter of article editing and improvement, not article deletion.--Oakshade (talk) 15:38, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * My apologies, I didn't know there was a different standard for populaces (I was just following WP:GNG), and I have just read through the policy. I will withdraw my nomination and close this discussion. I, Jethrobot drop me a line 18:01, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
