Unsourced since creation in Sept 2017. A previous article was deleted by PROD in March2017, then this was re-created by apparently the same editor, and has not been improved since then. An "external link" to http://www.kalungady.com was recently added and removed but appears to be "Tamil Christian site", not a reliable source or an appropriate external link. This place is shown on maps as existing, but without further sourced information the article is not an asset to the encyclopedia. The Catherine Booth Hospital makes no mention of Kalungady: its own website says it is at "Vadasery, Nagercoil". PamD 08:42, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Further to nomination:

Catherine Booth Hospital website giving address as "Asambu road, Vadasery, Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu", nomention of Kalungady.
Kalungady is not mentioned in any other article in the encyclopedia to which this name could be redirected. PamD 08:49, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:GEOLAND: "Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low". My search shows it mentioned in a book about missionary activities in this area, in in Indian census records (but not as a census tract), in an Indian government gazette, and in a list of monuments.

Delete - although I thank FOARP for finding the above refs, none of them indicate what type of location this is. Doesn't appear to be a legally recognized place, but rather some type of congregation or monument. Certainly none of the claims in the article are supported. As I was back in 2017, am completely willing to change to a keep if some valid sourcing showing that it passes WP:GEOLAND is uncovered, but as of yet, I'm not seeing it.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:11, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The gazette and census entries show legal recognition, hence this remains a pass for WP:GEOLAND. The present state of the article is not decisive of deletion as AFD is not clean-up. FOARP (talk) 11:45, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, they show it in use as part of an address, in both cases: the census lists "Kalungady West 1-33A" alongside "Arat Road 69-74". No indication that it is a standalone place. PamD 08:49, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Currently appears to be a suburb of Nagercoil. May once have been a village in its own right, of course. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:31, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment If this orphan article is deleted now it can be re-created in future if Reliable sources are found which confirm its existence as a populated place and any other information about it. PamD 08:51, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- Still no indication of what exactly this locality is. Reyk _YO! 14:49, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this is a WP:GEOLAND fail. Not legally recognized and no reliable sources. Wm335td (talk) 21:38, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The Census of India produces no results for a search of both Kalungady and the alternate spelling Kalunkady. I can't direct-link the results because of how their website works, but you can search for yourself here: Census of India search. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:28, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
