Keep per
WP:GEOLAND. The article is bad, but this place definitly exists. Its a pretty large village/town in the
Mathura district, its located
here on Google maps.
Here is an article in the
Deccan Chronicle which mentions it, and
here is another (similar) one in the
The Siasat Daily.
Here the data on this village in the
2011 Census of India which has been conducted by the Indian government (Official raw census data is
here in an xls file). If you google it you find more mentions of it, eg
here are some kind of police station reports (?) listed which also mention the village. It fulfills the criteria laid out in the WP:GEOLAND guideline. It is a populated legally recognized place (~13,000 inhabitants) and the existence is confirmed by the mentions in multiple news outlets as well as official Indian government sources. Its true the article is in a bad state, but thats no reason for deletion. The topic is clearly notable by our criteria and therefore should be kept.

I tidied it up a bit but its still a stub. Would probably need some locals and/or Urdu/Hindi speakers which are the local languages there.

Keep No dispute here per
WP:GEOLAND. Nom seems to have failed to perform
WP:BEFORE which states "If there are verifiability, notability or other sourcing concerns, take reasonable steps to search for reliable sources...The minimum search expected is a normal Google search, a Google Books search, a Google News search, and a Google News archive search".
