Keroa Union[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Delete Keroa Union and Keroa as non-notable union in Bangladesh. The article was created without any sources and contains only OR text. Google search turns up nothing for "Keroa" or "Keroa Union" but minor info (i.e. prayer times). No official website for the community and nothing to indicate relevance.

There is clearly a link in the article pointing to government portal. -- nafSadh did say 22:35, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep a citation to the official web site has been provided in the article, it has a number of sub-pages, all in Bengali. It is not just a village, it is the administrative center for a number of villages which are divided into nine or ten wards (sources conflict). Generally under the WP:Notability (geographic features) guidelines such places are kept. Populated, legally recognized places are typically considered notable, even if their population is very low. I also added the census citation. --Bejnar (talk) 05:48, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I should point out that the population is over 30,000. Keroa Union is mentioned in recent Bengali language news stories, but WP:NOTNEWS. --Bejnar (talk) 02:47, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, WP:GEOLAND clearly and most obviously holds. --nafSadh did say 22:33, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
