Poorly referenced article about an organization which does not appear to be notable. About 3 dozen hits on google news, but of the listing or trivial mention variety. Did not see a single reference with significant coverage. Fewer results on Books, but of the same variety. Was deprodded without a valid rationale. Onel5969 TT me 23:29, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

- Strong keep Yes the article is poor on all accounts, however this is not grounds for deletion. Google shows very limited hits but then google is very blind to anything older than about 10 years ago. See for example trove. I have not had a chance to sift through this material, but even on a first very quick glance I suggest this article romps it in on NEXISTs. There would appear to be potential here for a very extensive and in-depth article with references going back ~80 years or more. Aoziwe (talk) 12:30, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- comment a better trove search is with exclamation marks "Commonwealth+Bank+Officers+Association" which shows far less results. A lot of it is routine like court listings. I will decide later how I vote on this. LibStar (talk) 07:47, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
- yes and no, not now notable, but could be kept, could be a paragraph on the FSU page Dave Rave (talk) 04:34, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Decent-sized national trade union that existed for 63 years. Complaining about the lack of Google News results for an organisation that ceased to exist in 1991 is a little bit strange. There is a whole book about its history, plenty of references in other books, and plenty of references in period newspapers. The Drover's Wife (talk) 05:28, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

PR-toned article with only what he himself would advertise about his career and it's unsuitable for our policies because any advertising can and will be removed; the sources are only mere business announcements and mentions. The driveby removal IP has potential signs of it being SPA given the immediate attention to an otherwise quiet PR article. Not a single source here is in fact actually independent and notability-convincing, take:
- 1 is a PR announcement
- 2 is same
- 3 is
- 4 is same
- 5 is his own website
- 6 is same, his own profile
- 7 is same as 1-4
- 8 is same
- 9 is same
- 10-13 are all quickly the same, except 13 is republished SwisterTwister talk 21:36, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

I couldn't establish that this meets WP:NOTABILITY.

Wikipedia:Renominating for deletion () is of the opinion that we generally do not renominate a page for at least two months after a "no consensus" close, and I tend to agree.

- Keep - this is niche open source Engineering software which isn't going to get a lot of media coverage. A quick search does find a couple of guide books written about using the software, and some technical papers discussing the results of using the software: [[1]][[2]][[3]][[4]][[5]][[6]][[7]] There are also numerous search results for classes for the software, suggesting a viable user base.

- Delete I'm not convinced that the technical papers and guidebooks get it over GNG. I agree with Timtempleton:
this is niche open source Engineering software which isn't going to get a lot of media coverage.
In my mind, that means it isn't going to meet GNG. It has value for the community it serves, but that doesn't mean it meets Wikipedia's standards for inclusion. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:13, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

WeakKeep because there are a few results in Google Books when I search for this film. One book, Hong Kong Action Cinema, says, "His first hit was the widely distributed Bloody Fists." The book Films of Fury: The Kung Fu Movie Book calls this film "an independent produced milestone". I agree with Anachronist that online coverage would be difficult to find, but it does not mean that the topic is not notable. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 21:10, 13 February 2017 (UTC)- The Encyclopedia of Martial Arts Movies has this entry for the film here. Last paragraph is good out-of-universe background information.

This content worries me a bit. It was created in 2016, as a content translation, and then deleted under speedy deletion criterion G11 (in August 2016). In September 2016, it returned, again as a content translation. This version does not appear to be G11-able to me, but I don't think it's well-sourced, nor was I able to find the kind of sources that would enable me to write a proper Wikipedia article. Can we delete and salt please? —S Marshall T/C 20:08, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. I've found nothing in the way of third-party sources. If anyone can find a source or two, it could be merged into the Danske Bank article but it doesn't seem notable enough for an article of its own. —Non-Dropframe talk 20:16, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. Of course this article should not be deleted. MobilePay is a social phenomenon of considerable importance in Denmark. It has had a remarkable impact on the way individuals do small business together, in many cases eliminating the need to carry cash. The number of registred users passed 3 million in May, 2016, which is more than half the population. You cannot ignore this phenomenon. That's why I translated the article, since it is available on Danish Wikipedia, but was missing from the English. What do you mean you cannot find any sources? A google search like "mobilepay antal brugere" yields more than 22,000 hits, and they are NOT from Danske Bank. Of course this requires that you can read Danish :) gjensen (talk) 21:56, February 2017 (UTC)

Of the 33 pages that use the term "stellar explosion" almost every single one of them defines which term (nova/supernova/etc) is being referenced within the same sentence. Basically, this is unnecessary disambiguation. Primefac (talk) 19:33, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- How annoying. On my exploration, I discovered there's a category of stellar explosion Luminous red nova caused by stellar collision. Thats interesting! Part of the magic of wikipedia is it's ability to guide you to interesting things, even if you aren't looking for them. Are we short of hard drive space or something?? Fmadd (talk) 20:06, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
Delete: For Wikipedia to succeed, we need a certain amount of organization and consolidation. The stellar explosion article does not need to stand on its own when other articles suffice. Isambard Kingdom (talk) 20:25, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- 'organisation' , yes, these kind of pages "organize" the material by helping the reader discover. Isn't it great that wikipedia can guide you to information you weren't aware of? If you think this is "overlinking", why not push for a way of prioritizing links, instead of it having to be a binary choice (LINK or NO LINK). All this time you spend fighting me could go into improving the platform. The links could be visually weighted (the shade of blue). Fmadd (talk) 21:05, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
Read about this, Word_embedding, now imagine extending this algorithm to include wikilinks in the vocabulary. Wikipedia should be an amazing resource for AI training. The more links it has the better. Please please please instead of getting all uptight about what should be linked, can we extend the wikipedia platform to prioritize links, so it's not a binary choice, if people think there are 'too many'. Every link we add makes the data set 'smarter'. Fmadd (talk) 21:18, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- Redirect or keep as is. This is certainly a plausible search term for a topic, so no reason to delete. It could also include solar flare, or Failed supernova in its targets if kept as disambiguation. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:32, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- Graeme Bartlett, would renaming the page "Types of stellar explosions" be better? This is starting to feel less like a DAB and more like a list. Primefac (talk) 21:57, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- "Stellar explosion" is a likely thing for people to type to search for something "Types of ..." is much less likely, so I would suggest Stellar explosion types if you want to have "type". But if this really turns into a list, then it should be called "List of stellar explosion types"
- I can sort of get behind it being a list. As mentioned in the nomination, almost every usage is something along the lines of "X is a type of stellar explosion" or "a stellar explosion such as X, Y, Z". In other words, it just really doesn't fit as a dab, and it really doesn't fit in the lead of Type Ib and Ic supernovae (even as a list), which is what Fmadd is insistent upon.

- Keep Methods of a 'stellar explosion' covers a very wide plethora of complicated mechanisms that are not simple to explain. It simply says that a supernova is a type of stellar explosion, and is among a group of objects in several sub-categories. Anyone who doesn't like it, please properly use the Talkpages. Thanks. Arianewiki1 (talk) 01:07, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- thanks.. "very wide plethora" ... that's what I suspected. If stellar explosion and supernova were synonymous, why would both terms exist. They must carry different connotations. A curious mind seeing 'a supernova is a stellar explosion' will want to know if there are others. Fmadd (talk)
- rename&redirect (whats the etiquette here?) - rename this as 'list of stellar explosion events', [stellar explosion] can just redirect to that. the exploration is interesting. the appeal of wikipedia is to guide you to interesting info you didn't know to look for. Fmadd (talk) 20:00, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- Make into a list article. Disambiguation pages are not meant to define shades of meaning between related terms. — Gorthian (talk) 21:38, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- Make into a list, Delete or Make a real article (in order of probability). If you think you can come up with enough actual (sourced) content to write an article, the last would be preferable. But what's there now is just a list and should be organized and described as such. The other thing, which I mentioned on the editor's talk page, is to beware of overlinking. Adding extra links devalues other links in the article simply by clutter, so it's certainly questionable whether wikilinking every mention of "stellar explosion" that can be found, is worth it. Tarl N. (discuss) 00:09, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
- I have discovered things I did not know just going through this process.. isn't the beauty of wikipedia to inform people - can we push for a means of prioritizing links, for example 'list of', glossary definitions' could be automatically de-emphasized (the system clearly queries the links as part of rendering the page, because it knows about redlinks, and there's a facility to highlight disambiguation pages too) Fmadd (talk) 11:30, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

The article was recently delisted of its GA status but I have doubts about its notability. Nearly half of its sources are dialogue from the game, one is a press release, another is an abandonware website, two are interviews, and the Gameplanet link is dead. The lack of any real secondary sources for the article has me believing the article should be deleted. GamerPro64 19:22, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- Comment : I really don't like the way the article implies that this was an official release in the Halflife franchise. (Even listing Valve as "Publisher" in the infobox instead of "distributor".). Sure, back then non-valve games didn't appear on Steam much, but it wasn't a "serious" release. They just thought it was funny. Unfortunately, that relationship with Valve seems to be the game's only notability. ApLundell (talk) 20:41, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

- Whether the get that piece of metal is irrelevant nope. You said he got a medal. I said and cited that coaches receive nothing from the IOC. L3X1 My Complaint Desk 15:08, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Chris troutman: WP:NOLY is a complete red herring. This is the first time I heard about that SNG and I haven't mentioned it in this debate at all. By your line of thought, we should delete Bill Belichick – he fails WP:NOLY as well, never competing nor coaching at the Olympics. My point is that just like Belichick, Terzić fulfills WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO with flying colors, a fact that you could have simply discovered WP:BEFORE wasting our collective time with this nomination. And even for a literalist worldview, WP:NSPORT itself mentions word "coach" 32 times, including (in the WP:NTRACK) section
Coaches that have coached many notable athletes, including at least one (non-relay) Olympic medalist,...
– surely that ought to apply to a medalist *team* coach as well? <sarcasm>Or do we have to specifically add a section on Volleyball to carry the point across?</sarcasm> No such user (talk) 16:15, 7 February 2017 (UTC)- @No such user: NOLY is part of NSPORT and that's a guideline so I assume you mean that the word coach should be found there even though it's not. You ask
"do we have to specifically add a section on Volleyball to carry the point across"
and I reply yes. The guideline says what it says. If it had said otherwise I wouldn't have nominated it. My nominating articles that result in "keep" hurts my AfD percentage. I'm not making these nominations to be POINTy. I performed research per WP:BEFORE, I (still) find the subject fails GNG and he fails applicable SNGs. (Mere mentions don't carry GNG for me.) I'm not accustomed to checking out an article, finding the subject doesn't strictly meet criteria, and then letting it slide; I'm not an inclusionist. Again, if you don't like the SNG this isn't the place to argue what you want NSPORT to say. I also don't understand this distaste of my apparent"literalist worldview"

Delete. WP:BLP of a writer and filmmaker, with some advertorial overtones ("Joshua has harnessed these experiences to help others with the powerful reach of cinematic messages, which offer hope, visibility and forms of fantastical and inspirational escapes to marginalized people"), whose claims of notability are potentially valid but nowhere close to reliably sourced. This is based mainly on primary sources, such as Ferguson's own Twitter, the film's Indiegogo campaign, the website of Ferguson's production company, and on and so forth -- and the fewer reliable sources that are being cited here are not about Ferguson, but virtually all just blurbingly namecheck Ferguson's existence as a provider of soundbite in an article about someone or something else. There's literally just one source here (#29) that's both substantively about Ferguson and independent of their own self-published web presence -- and even that source is just a "what are they doing now" profile in the context of Ferguson being a past winner of a non-notable educational scholarship, not anything that would constitute a strong WP:CREATIVE claim in and of itself. As always, no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when Ferguson's notability can be sourced properly -- but they're not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because they exist, and this is not the kind of referencing it takes to get them over the bar.

Delete. Biography of an actor and film director, which is not reliably sourcing him over WP:NACTOR or WP:CREATIVE for any particular accomplishment besides existing. Nearly all of his listed roles as an actor are either short films or "uncredited", and virtually all of his listed films as a director are short films -- and for sourcing, what we have here is two directories (the Internet Broadway Database and Findagrave) rather than any actual reliable source coverage about him. As always, no prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can demonstrate notability properly, but he has to be the subject of reliable source coverage in media, not just nominally verifiable in a couple of databases, to earn an encyclopedia article.

I can't believe this discussion is taking place of all the bios(WP:FILMBIO) I've contributed. You'd think people here would be grateful. How many people in the silent and sound entertainment are listed whom are much more insignificant than Durkin. He should have long had an article thats why I made one up on him. Just because a few people don't know of him doesn't mean he wasn't significant or doesn't count. That's the whole point of the article to teach you. He was a stage, screen actor and screen director which should get him place on wikipedia. He doesn't have to be Cecil B. DeMille. Most of Durkins directorial efforts are lost as I would expect many who edit silent movies would understand.Koplimek (talk) 21:12, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- Nobody said he has to be Cecil B. DeMille — but what he does have to be is reliably sourceable as passing an actual notability criterion in either WP:NACTOR or WP:CREATIVE, which is a significantly higher standard than "user-generated databases like Findagrave and IBDb verify that he existed". And nobody owes you a cookie just because you're here, either — your job in creating articles is to demonstrate and source notability properly, which you did not do in this case.

- Keep. The subject had an entry in a 1914 Who's Who for American theater, which I've added to the article as a general reference (and left it to the article's creator to extract details for use in the article itself). Also, here is a listing of theater publications that mention the subject. Most of them are brief mentions, but can be used to reliably source the subject's appearances on the American stage. I didn't do any checking for contemporaneous film appearances, but there's enough here about his theater work to sustain the article. NewYorkActuary (talk) 08:21, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you, I find that publication and the Notable People in Music and Drama book are fine sources for info on so long ago performers who through early death, marriage, retirement are long forgotten. I saw Durkin's entry in Notable People several days ago but put off entering it. I sometimes forget the title of the book but always go back to Henry B.

- Delete. Local television journalists at the individual- station level are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they exist — they get articles only if and when they can be reliably sourced over WP:GNG. And regardless of the notability or non-notability of winning a regional Emmy, even winning a national Emmy would not confer an exemption from having to be reliably sourced over GNG; the article would still have to be sourced to actually get kept, and IMDb is not sourcing. I'm willing to reconsider this if proper referencing can be shown, but nothing here exempts her from having to be the subject of coverage in reliable sources. Bearcat (talk) 15:16, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

- Delete The only real potential hook for notability is her Emmy, and despite whatever unproven guideline/consensus around a regional Emmy not being a useful notability hook is referred to above (if you can't link it, it doesn't exist), it is reasonable to search for RS coverage per GNG surrounding an impressive award like this. So, I did this search, and in terms of any deep coverage beyond mentions, I turned up dry. But if anyone else can turn up something, I'm willing to reconsider my !vote. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 18:18, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep I had no trouble in finding in-depth coverage such as [12] [13], and [14]. I didn't look further because with the raw vote count here, the closer will either reject all of the deletes as without evidence, or count them up without regard to evidence. On-air personalities gain attention directly from the public, which goes directly to Wikipedia's understanding of notability as attention from the world at large. Like other evidence, a regional Emmy shows attention to the topic by the world at large. Also note that there are references in the article not specifically identified as citations, such as Louisville Business First and Louisville Magazine. That leaves a lot of uncited material in the article that might require cuts or research to cite, but a stub would have value to the encyclopedia. Unscintillating (talk) 03:53, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- All three of those linked sources are minor media and local to the subject's hometown.

- Delete The local sources aren't enough to raise it to meet WP:GNG in my opinion because they are routine coverage in local sources.

- Keep. She's a goalkeeper in a world-medalist team after all; whether she entered the play or stayed on the bench is a bit unclear, but sources I found suggest she did. I tried to search for sources, but the language barrier is pretty high. Here's an interview with her in Waterpolo News.gr; a video interview on SportsFeed.gr where she carries the medal around the neck. Short piece in novasports.gr states that "Goula celebrated the 2011 World Championship with the national Greece in Shanghai." this piece in Pisina.net is about her difficulties to find a club for this season as she's tied to her duties in the Navy. So there's steady coverage about her career over the years. No such user (talk) 10:02, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

No evidence that this requires a standalone article: what little coverage there is can easily be included in Premiership of Narendra Modi. We cannot and should not have a separate article about every policy, initiative, and soundbyte from every world leader. Furthermore, the article seems to consist largely of original research, or at the very least unsourced statements. Delete. Vanamonde (talk) 17:04, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

The first comment clearly is WP:OVERZEALOUS of every policy, initiative, and soundbyte from every world leader having a separate article! Cashless Transaction is a term cited daily in India; National Media, Forums, Vans parading the streets of cities in India [1] have Cashless Transaction plastered on them as a mobile encyclopaedia which travels around the City. The article has much room for improvement, it is largely WP:INDY sources that will be developed as the initiative and awareness increases, it is an article to enrich the lives of Indians. There needs to be amendments to historical references too [2] to avoid WP:SHAREDNAME from archaic translations in India, cultural references [3] and systems which deserve a place on the Indian E-Commerce[4] system which is still under development compared to [5] which has an article directly linked to an E-Commerce Subject [6] with no argument for deletion. This article should not be prematurely deleted or referenced to two world leaders WP:OCASSOC in particular the Premiership of Narendra Modi article.

Since it is a fictional place on the fictional planet Jakku, a categorised {{R from fictional place}}, in this case with the optional parameter set:
{{R from fictional place|Star Wars}}

- Okay, well, if this is the work of "an advanced student in my IT class" I'm assuming it's at the high school level. The problem here is that it fails to meet WP:ORG from what I can see. What's missing is coverage from independent WP:Reliable sources that would establish notability -- and I don't think it's out there, based on my Gsearch. Sorry. Delete. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:35, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

- Also, your unsupported statement above that you are an educator and this is somehow the joint work of you and a pupil of yours violates WP:ROLE. We do not permit shared use accounts.

I've asked my student to look into links that would support notability. She asked if they must be in English. My assumption is yes, but am I correct in that?

Biography of a composer and reality TV participant. I find no coverage of him at all in secondary sources, but quite a few primary sources. His claim to notability as a composer is a song that was at number 19 on a list of the most frequently played songs on a Norwegian radio show in 2008 (previously wrongly credited in the article as one of the most frequently played songs on a radio channel). However, the sources do not mention his name - there's no particular reason to believe he is not the composer of the song, but the notability claim is extremely weak given that his name is not to be found, and given that the song itself did not chart.
The reality TV claim to notability is based on his participating in an entrepreneur contest on Norwegian TV and ending up in 5th place. He was also part of a panel of people who commented on the Norwegian parliamentary election in 2009, but again, that doesn't confer any particular notability when he was never actually given significant coverage in independent sources.
The article was created by a known paid editor (now blocked). It is also relevant to mention that the article about him was deleted as non-notable on no.wikipedia in 2014. Different Wikipedia versions have different notability criteria, but still. bonadea contributions talk 10:57, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

- This composer meet the wikipedia Notability criteria for three reasons. First is that he has composed the music identity for a major television network (TV 2) for several years. This is the largest commercial televison network in Norway, Second is that he has composed the song waschera witch was many months on the national charts NRK MP3.
- Third is that he composed the music for "breaking borders" on travel channel and My mercy box witch has been broadcasted in the whole of europe and USA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Norsktv (talk • contribs) 15:35, 7 February 2017 (UTC) — Norsktv (talk · contribs) has only contributed to the article(s) under discussion for deletion and AFD.
- NRK mP3 is not a national chart, it is a radio channel. And Waschera was the 19th most played song in 2008 on "Svisj", which is one of the shows on that channel; it did not feature on the main top-20 list for the channel as a whole. --bonadea contributions talk 19:25, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

- Does it say that he has produced a film, though? I think the claims are mainly that he has composed music for films (as well as for a "channel identity", which I think is some kind of promotional material for a TV channel, but I'm not sure). Composing for a notable film doesn't make him notable (just like every actor in a notable film is not automatically notable...) If he were a producer that might make it different, I agree. --bonadea contributions talk 19:25, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- The article does not say he produced a film, let alone a notable one. And in most cases it would not help much, film producers, as well as so many other people working behind the scene in cinema, are exceedingly difficult to source. Unfortunately. — Sam Sailor 00:49, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

- Redirect to Cedar Revolution. I have not found any reliable references in English, but what I have found pointed to the article subject's involvement in that event. I suspect searching in French and Arabic sources would provide better results, but because of the variability of transliterating Arabic names to English search terms, my ability to search correctly is limited. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 23:50, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @Eggishorn: Normally I would be all right with considering a redirect, but the unsourced article nominated for deletion does not verify his involvement with the The Cedar Revolution, and the proposed redirect target has no mention of him. North America1000 03:02, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Northamerica1000:, Usually I don't advocate redirects without that information but in this particular case, my searches have given me the distinct impression that I'm being too parochial. Even if I don't think any one individual source counts as WP:RS for notability purposes, there's enough in sum to give me the belief that non-English sources probably do exist. Perhaps the correct thing is to delete and hope those with access and understanding of such putative sources re-create it. Thanks for the reply.

These include sources from "Los Angeles Times", "New York Times", and "Salon".

- @Editsatnight: The article as presently written will be deleted. However, you could ask to have it moved to a draft on your page, where you could try to bring it up to standard. I recommend that you read all of the advice pages on how to create a page and on what sort of sources a individual needs pass our notability standards. And I also recommend that you spend a little time editing, It is the best way to learn how wikipedia works. Then try reading, and maybe improving, articles on swimming, writers who write about sports, or other topics that interest you. At that point, you will either see that the kind of sources necessary to build a page for Jendrick are lacking, or you will know how to write a proper, well-sourced page. You can make an offer here, and see if other editors agree to allow you to move this page to a draft.

Completely non-notable song by completely non-notable person who is using Wikipedia for promotion.
Also, although the copyright owner has given permission for use in Wikipedia, he has not given proper permission under the proper copyleft, and therefore this qualifies for G12. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:01, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- Speedy delete as copyright. And obviously delete out of sheer lack of notability. Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 01:04, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- Speedy delete: Artist using Wikipedia for promotion, non-notable song. I would suggest A7-song but the artist's page does exist (though it was created by him); copyright issues, however, are still in place. MereTechnicality ⚙ 01:06, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Fails PORNBIO and the GNG. No qualifying awards. No independent reliable sourcing. No nontrivial pertinent GNews or GBooks hits. Claimed award is not well-known or significant merely because it was given out at the same trade show, but by a different awardgiver, as a more notable award. PROD removed without substantive justification or nontrivial article improvement. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.

Not sure if this is a hoax or just really obscure, but I can't find any reliable evidence that this is an actual village. I can find evidence of a Echilamvayal Library and a Echilamvayal Bus Stop, but I'm not sure if they are part of a village by this name. A Google search brings up mostly Wikipedia mirrors.

- Delete per my comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Karinkuzhi, note that this was created by the same editor, who has no other edits, the co-ordinates listed in the article do not correspond to a place by this name. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 00:57, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I don't know if this helps at all, but Bing maps shows it as a village in India, though it also links to this article. Adamtt9 (talk) 01:22, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

- Comment. It's not a complete hoax and the place appears to be a real locality alternately spelled Eachilamvayal. It comes up in postal databases associated with with Vellur/Vellora, but matching hits conflict. However it is not on any of the 4 village lists from the Kannur district website. I haven't found anything to verify the place as an independent settlement. • Gene93k (talk) 19:47, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
