The result was speedy . Nom withdrawn, I disagree with "consensus" but it's clear where this is going. StarM 23:47, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know there has been some discussion (although unresolved) about the possible changes in whether place=notable, so I wanted to bring this here again. Worse comes to worse, I withdraw. We have absolutely zero verifiable information about this place. Previous AfD said it's inhabited=it's notable but with no references and no content, what's notable. I'm aware of bias issues but I don't think this possible map-dot, no matter where in the world it is, is notable. Thoughts? StarM 01:41, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep per places are currently held inherently notable. Verifiability from prior Afd: The Hindu, trivia about the village from is available on blacklisted link on Sulekha, seaching for Blathur, don't know if this is reliable but it looks to be, postal code-670593, State Bank of Travancore has a branch there and they even allow people to apply for home loans at this branch, online, so the place likely has internet access, it also happens to be a very normal place as someone was apparently murdered and the body found in a well and I think I now know more about this place than I ever intended to. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 02:26, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Just by being a village it is inherently notable. --Oakshade (talk) 03:36, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep There were two failed proposals regarding the notability of populated places. Though they failed to gain concensus, one of the arguments given was that all named populated places (cities, towns, villages) were notable, since inevitably, multiple, independent reliable sources would be found about them. What this article needs is expansion. Sebwite (talk) 18:49, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
