Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nagoor

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. There is discussion as to whether Nagoor should be a separate article on a village, a disambiguation page, or a redirect. That discussion may continue on the talkpage and the result there will not require admin action. There is clearly consensus to keep something in some form.

This unreferenced stub is a recent blank-and-redirect of a two-entry disambiguation page. The current version (about a village) fails notability. The previous version (links to Nagore and Negur) fails MOS:DAB because neither of those target articles mention this alternative spelling. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:08, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, passes WP:GEOLAND as a populated, legally recognised place. SailingInABathTub (talk) 16:50, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. More than 3,000 people live here. Of course it is notable.--Hippeus (talk) 19:45, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ - Per above and WP:GEOLAND. Census numbers are often falsified in Wikipedia articles (for some reason) but the town is present on maps, so it verifiably exists. Grayfell (talk) 20:50, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Per below, a DAB may be more appropriate. Grayfell (talk) 07:40, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This is a tricky one. Cannot find "Nagoor", "Nagore," or "Nagur" in Udupi District Census Book. Census search returned 5 villages named "Nagoor" located in other parts of India—Nagoor (K), Nagoor (B), Nagoor, Nagooor (Muzafar) and Nagoor (RF); but not this village in Udupi district. -- Ab207 (talk) 20:05, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I found the same, I couldn't verify the demographics section in the 2011 census, but you can find the village on google maps. SailingInABathTub (talk) 20:17, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see. But if this village is not legally recognised, WP:GEOLAND does not apply. -- Ab207 (talk) 20:29, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the census map, Nagoor seems to be included in the count for Kirimanjeshwar, which it also shares a post office code with. Regarding legal recognition, there is a bank registered there [1] and you can get a bus there [2]. There is also some evidence that people live there [3][4]. But all considered I suspect that Nagoor, Udupi is actually a subdivision of Kirimanjeshwar and therefore should be redirected there. Or better still, this article should be converted to a disambiguation page for this location and the other instances of this village name. SailingInABathTub (talk) 21:24, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think redirecting is appropriate considering there are other places that are presumably notable. But yeah, DAB page is a good idea. -- Ab207 (talk) 07:35, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Passes WP:GEOLAND. MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:41, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Restore dab per the above discussion. The current text is about a village that's apparently not (yet?) legally recognised, but it's certainly mention-worthy in the article about the larger unit. Nagoor is also an alternative spelling for Nagore, as well as the name of a few villages. – Uanfala (talk) 14:07, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - a dab will save the editors' past work. Bearian (talk) 16:36, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
