Unreferenced since 2007. Absolutely nothing in an independent, reliable source about the settlement came up in my WP:BEFORE. No evidence of legal recognition, nothing beyond it being a location on Google Maps for which automatic content has been produced on weather/hotel-rental websites and so-forth.

- comment From what I see this probably is an actual village by this name, to the point where if you search for it in GMaps, it is given borders. I suspect one of the Malaysian sources would confirm this, but I cannot read Malay. But we ahve to have some documentation beyond looking at GMaps (or GNS).

- This is already notified to the Malaysia watchlist so if any of the people on that project want to chip in they can. Typically a lot of the official stuff for Malaysia is often in English so it would be found in a Google search if it was accessible online. There just isn’t anything. I know some of the people on here think that simply having a postal address, school, or clinic is sufficient for a WP:Geoland pass but this makes no sense because it would be effectively giving automatic notability to schools/hospitals/anywhere with a postal address simply for existing.
- EDIT: also it really has to be emphasised that Google Maps is filled with errors and is based in large part on WIkipedia. FOARP ( talk) 03:06, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: This geo db states, "Railroad station - a facility comprising ticket office, platforms, etc. for loading and unloading train passengers and freight", [1] This fits with other mentions I saw that associate sujbect with the railroad. I don't see any evidence that this is a legally recognized place, and I don't believe it is a town, but simply poeple living near the station working or providing services to it. The same geo db also has an entry for "Banir Estate, Perak, Malaysia" [2] states, "Estate(s) - a large commercialized agricultural landholding with associated buildings and other facilities" If someone can find RS that this meets NGEO/GNG I'd !v keep, but there are none atm; unless someone finds sources I'm Delete // Timothy :: talk 06:06, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
