I cannot find any places called Gaur Niwas (roughly translated as "Gaur residence") in Sudhowala, Dehradun, as the article claims. The closest reference I found [1] is about a place in Kullu which is in a different state called Himachal Pradesh. The coordinates 30°19′59″N 77°57′39″E seem to show a road. The pincode 248015 is for Sudhowala. The image attached File:BHS Snowfall on January 27th, 2014.jpg is described as "weather In Gaur niwas" but actually seems to be about some school in the US. As I cannot find any references to such a place, I am nominating it for deletion.-- DreamLinker (talk) 15:32, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Actually I think the article could be about a building/house and seems like the creator wrote it in good faith. There is one source [2] which says "Gaur Niwas Sudhowala: This is a city centre of sudhowala, developed by Pandit Shri Devi Dutt Gaur", although it is not reliable. Unfortunately I cannot find any other good reference for it.--DreamLinker (talk) 15:40, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete With no references, this article is spam. A similar article, Toolihalan picks up mentions of roads and a school including the name, but there is no evidence that a village of that name exists. Without the threat of deletion of sub-stub-class articles, WP is in danger of becoming a chat list of unverifiable junk. If a reference in a census document appears, then certainly it should stay. Otherwise, out with it. Rhadow (talk) 17:50, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence that the said village exists. Tried searching with spelling variants "Gaud Niwas", "Gaur Nivas", and "Gaud Nivas", on nic.in and gov.in. utcursch | talk 18:52, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - unsourced, and with no evidence that the village exists it's likely a hoax. Kirbanzo^{(userpage - talk - contribs)} 22:25, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Never been to India and article does not provide sources to show the village exists.--SalmanZ (talk) 21:55, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:V and lack of WP:RS. Bearian (talk) 20:30, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete The map shows a place called "Mohanpur" but doesn't show "Gaur Niwas" Google searches all appear to be mirrors, Google Books do however seem to show there's a cafe with this name but that probably doesn't meet WP:GEOLAND. A place with a population of over 1 thousand and a stated area would expect to easily be found on Google. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:37, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
