  how is it not eligable for draftify?? PaulGamerBoy360 (talk) 19:32, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

per WP:DRAFTOBJECT which says A page may only be moved unilaterally to the draftspace a single time. If anyone objects, it is no longer an uncontroversial move, and the page needs to be handled through other processes, such as deletion, stubbing, tagging, etc. Another editor moved this back to mainspace, which counts as contesting the initial draftification. We are not allowed to move this back to draft space except as a result of an AfD, which is what has been started now. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:38, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

• Delete or draftify: I don't get how it can't be restored to draft space? The author needs to do more work on it. Llajwa (talk) 20:46, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Please see my response above, which explains why the nominator was not allowed to draftify. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:38, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

• leaning delete Google searching suggests that this is actually called "Bikor Kalān" 24.21501°N 78.62491°E / 24.21501; 78.62491. Gmaps claims to have a Bikor, but it's a blank spot on a river bank. At any rate retention as an article is untenable.Mangoe (talk) 20:59, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Based on improvements, draftify, as it's still not ready for prime time (e.g., can we get a definite lcoation?). Mangoe (talk) 21:45, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: Searching for Bikor in the Indian census site does show a village of that name, in Hoshangabad district (which is the old name of Narmadapuram district). The populations are close (2026 v/s 2421 mentioned in the article). -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:49, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

• Delete as far as resources online everything in that article can be just made up. If the author just puts the coordinates, I am happy to change my vote.

• Draftify - This meets WP:NPLACE as a populated, legally recognized place and appears to be a reasonably-sized village however it needs cleanup and sourcing before it will be ready for mainspace. I added a source which lists Bikor as a Gram panchayat meaning it has its own local government. Mangoe, Google Maps shows the location here which seems to be the center of the governed area with the village itself to the Northeast.

We do need to address the repeated un-draftification and removal of deletion notices by single-purpose accounts, otherwise they'll just keep re-creating the article. Apparently if you're a new editor and your AfC submission is rejected for lack of sourcing, you can just keep adding unsourced information until you reach 10 edits and then just move it to mainspace yourself?!? I'm leaning toward extended-confirmed protection since the creator seems to have no interest in adding sources. –dlthewave ☎ 17:29, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

• Draftify - per Dlthewave. It may be presumed notable, as said, but it is not ready for mainspace. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 21:47, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
