- Keep: WP:PLACEOUTCOMES is an essay, not a governing policy. The governing policy is WP:GEOLAND, which states,
Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable
. This article meets WP:GEOLAND. Owen× ☎ 15:12, 26 December 2023 (UTC) - Keep - WP:PLACEOUTCOMES is an essay. WP:GEOLAND is the policy covering notability of settlements. Nedunkerny satisfies the very first criteria under WP:GEOLAND i.e. it is populated and legally recognised. The town is divided into two Village Officer Divisions (Nedunkerny North and Nedunkerny South), the fourth level administrative division in Sri Lanka. The Department of Census and Statistics collects census data at the village officer division level. Nedunkerny is the headquarters of the Vavuniya North DS Division, the third level administrative division in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka Post allocates a post code to Nedunkerny.--Obi2canibe (talk) 15:47, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Has presumed notability under WP:GEOLAND. Has shops and an army check point per Google Streetview in 2022. Mentioned in numerous books listed on Google Books about the Sri Lankan Civil War and looks like there's ongoing religious conflict. [1] Note the different name spellings.
