If you believe geonames, "Garhi" is simply a synonym for the Udayapur District; it is also, however, a common name component (or its variant, gadhi) which appears to mean "fort", if Sindhuli Gadhi and Rasua Garhi are any indication. What I cannot find is a specific "Garhi" village whose principal name isn't something longer. I am open to the notion of redirecting this back to Garhi, but the current claims of this uncited article are untenable as it stands. Mangoe ( talk) 11:47, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

- Comment, we'll probably end up deleting this as there is just not a enough information to locate it properly. I've looked in Geohacks The Times Atlas of the World around "40 kilometres south-west of...Kathmandu" and turned up nothing. Without precise coordinates or a definite source I don't know where we go from here. However, I'm not going for delete just yet as I came up with a couple of sources that suggest that a place of this name does, or once did, exist. In this book there is "Finally the fourth generation of Narkunwar Singh, named Jai Singh Chand left Baligarh in Garhi, Nepal, crossed the river Kali and came west in search of a permanent homestead." But it's only snippet view. In The Crown Encyclopedia and Gazetteer there is "G3 78 811 Garhi, Nepal" which appears to be a map reference, but again, only snippet view so I can't be sure. If anyone can actually access either of those sources and confirm that they do verify existence then we should keep per WP:NPLACE. Spinning Spark 17:50, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
- That "811 Garhi" is actually "Sil Garhi" and points to a spot at the west end of Nepal on the map. Mangoe ( talk) 01:14, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete, WP:V issues as above. I explicitly do not support a redirect to Garhi, as that is a disambig page and Garhi, Nepal is a pretty unlikely search term anyway. Lankiveil ( speak to me) 05:07, 13 April 2018 (UTC).
