Kanhai Ka Pura

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NGEO and WP:GNG and also seems to have a bit of promotion in the article. I've done multiple searches on this village and also done a map search of the area, and the only thing i've found is a school called "Kanhai Ka Pura School". This also tells me that this village could be made up. There are also no sources present in the article that establish notability. I proposed this article for deletion per WP:PROD but this was declined per WP:NGEO, but the article has shown no evidence of passing this guideline so far.

It's a village so doesn't seem to meet NGEO at face value. Only "notable" living person there was born in 2001 and doesn't even have their own article. I think you could be right about the place being fictitious. Also no sources, so I wouldn't have removed the PROD tag. I'm therefore voting Delete.

Delete. Even the article's content indicates it is WP:MADEUP. We didn't like the old name of the place. There is no such village in Bhind district in the 2011 Indian census. The supposed old name occurs in several places in other districts in Madhya Pradesh. Fails WP:V. • Gene93k (talk) 14:47, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. WP:NGEO & most ceirtainly WP:GNG and the possiblility of WP:MADEUP, plus the overall low quality of the article.AtlasDuane (talk) 16:32, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:GEOLAND. The place exists. Hindustan Times report on a dacoit caught from Bhind belonging to Kanhai ka pura. Lourdes 12:39, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Still doesn't show any evidence the village is notable. Class455 (talk|stand clear of the doors!) 20:35, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
