Unsourced since 2009. The village is stubbish and thus unnotable. Fails WP:GNG and WP:GEOLAND. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 03:50, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Please search for Chinese-language sources before nominating a Chinese village for deletion. I added some references. Wikidata page for this village is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4881403 but I think this page https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14792490 refers to the same village. Attention from some China experts would be helpful. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 05:31, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Eastmain: it looks like this is the same case as the barangays in our case, in which majority of the village-level divisions of the Philippines' 1,634 municipal-level divisions does not have English-language sources and thus cannot benefit from notability.

- No. References do not have to be in English to be valid. See Wikipedia:Verifiability#Non-English_sources. It would be nice if the Chinese government published a gazetteer in English that could be used as a reference, but I do not think it has done so.

- Just to confirm Eastmain's comment. According to WP:Notability: Sources do not have to be available online or written in English. Thincat (talk) 07:39, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are plenty of sources on Baidu to establish that it is a legally recognized populated place to meet WP:GEOLAND (see Villages of China). Jumpytoo Talk 07:09, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Passes WP:GEOLAND.4meter4 (talk) 00:45, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
