Non-existent place. In 2011, an anon added a fake birthplace to the bio of Robin Singh (cricketer). Subsequent editors fixed the real location, but left part of the fake birthplace, S R ngar. Later, another well-meaning editor changed it to S R Nagar, and created the locality.

The originally named place, S R ngar, bhilwara might have been real, but this current locality in Princes Town exists because of an incomplete vandalism fix. While I'm inclined to speedy it as a hoax, it has been on Wikipedia for almost a decade, so I'm more comfortable going this route. Guettarda (talk) 04:20, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete because I don't see any sources that verify this place exists. The nominator also gives a good explanation as to why this article was created. All the mentions I've found online are either a copy of the Wikipedia article or they reference the actual S R Nagar that exists (Sanjeeva Reddy Nagar), which is a different place and already has an article.
