Deprodded with the rationale, "The two village likely meet WP:GEOLAND. Covering them both in a single article does not seem like an unreasonable approach." However, their is no village named "Gantamulla", which is divided into two "areas". Article should be deleted, and if someone wants to, two articles created about the two individual villages created. Current article is misleading, and therefore by definition, non-encyclopedic.

It might help to know that "Bala" and "Pain" ("Payeen" here) occur sometimes in placenames in this part of the world, and mean "upper" and "lower". c.f. Wani Gam Pain and Wanigam Bala in
Pattan sub-district,
Baramulla district.

Keep - I agree that it is not clear from the sources I've reviewed whether this is one village or two. My best guess is that Gantamulla is an inhabited area administratively divided into two villages (perhaps due to some dispute). We don't build an encyclopedia by deleting articles with suspected errors or ambiguity, we improve articles to eliminate errors and clarify ambiguity. If that eventually leads us to split this into two separate articles, so be it. At this point it is not clear what is the best way forward. Neither
WP:DEMOLISH nor
WP:TNT should be applied here. ~

Keep meets our guidelines for [WP:GEOLAND]] Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low. Even abandoned places can be notable, because notability encompasses their entire history.Lightburst (

Comment - okay, so there isn't a SINGLE source showing that this is actually a "legally recognized places". There are sources which show that there are two villages, but not a single entity like in this article. So somehow, in an encyclopedia, it's okay to mislead folks looking for info. Got it.

You do know that's not a reliable source, and the info links back to the WP article under discussion in this AfD (which is why it's not a reliable source). If that's the best anyone can come up with, that pretty much makes my point for deletion.
