• Keep: I've modified the coordinates given in the article, thus a click on them shows at Google maps and Bing maps this location exists. I think it's a case of
  WP:POPULATED ("Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable"). --Cyfal (talk) 20:12, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

  • Hmm, I do see a few reliable sources barely mentioning this as well on a deeper BEFORE search. That being said, I wonder given the lack of coverage whether it would be appropriate to redirect this to Chennai (with no prejudice towards recreation).

• Per the relist, the comment I was going to make in an attempted relist is that the above arguments for keep make assertions that
  WP:POPULATED has been met or that there is coverage available in TOI or The Hindu, but I'm not seeing any examples of sources that support either of those assertions in this discussion or in the article's citations. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 15:15, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

  • I've added the only three sources that have barely mentioned this place to the article. This does include one pulication from TOI and one from The Hindu.

    However, if we zoom out of Wikipedia policy land for a second, Chennai is a huge metropolitan city that is the sixth-most populous city in India. Normally localities of such cities get hundreds (if not thousands) of sources talking about them. The fact that there are only three sources which are barely mentions of this neighbourhood, tells me that this neighbourhood isn't notable enough for a standalone article at this point.

• According to the Census of India it is a village. It is, as far as census data (and the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority) goes at least, in
  Sholavaram Panchayat Union. There are Census results going back decades. It had 424 people in the 1951 Census, for example. Definitely populated. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 08:19, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply
