Delete Fails WP:NGEO. Cannot find any mention of the village in any of the Indian 2011 census tables nor any other information on google demonstrating WP:GNG. Tooncool64 (talk) 07:09, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This appears to be listed as a village, amsom or desom in the census of 1971 and the census of 1981. The Kerala Gazette lists numerous houses of numerous people and a post office. According to sources there was a weekly market [1]; a school [2] [3]; a health sub-centre, which became a people’s health centre [4]; rock cut caves [5]; iron ore prospecting and field studies: [6] [7]; rubber products [8]; and a building called Manatha kandy House, which was the address of an author: [9]. From these English language sources, this seems to be a populated place within NGEO. To make any further progress, it will be necessary to transliterate the name into Malayalam script.

Keep as a populated place under WP:GEOLAND. In addition to the many sources put up by James500 it's verified in 2015 as the name of a ward within the Balussery Panchayat on the Government of Kerala's website here:[10]. It's signposted on the Kerala State Highway 34 as this image shows [11] Rupples (talk) 21:11, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
