Delete - Text and tags say that it was intended as a List page of people with the surname of Kadiyan, but the only item is a village. Since only a handful of articles exist about someone with this surname, and since there is no WP:SIGCOV of the surname discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, it fails WP:NLIST. If it is not intended as a list, it fails all criteria under WP:GNG. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 13:53, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Originally closed this as a Soft Deletion but the page has previously been deleted as a PROD so Soft Deletion is not an option. So, I'm relisting this discussion.

Delete seems fine, although maybe someone can repurpose those references elsewhere. It seems unusually well sourced for a 1-line stub. - Indefensible (talk) 03:13, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
