Delete - the backlog of tiny villages with no notability indications whatsoever is probably a good 10% of the unreferenced article backlog. I'm going to go through and try to find some more articles to nominate under the Kenya list.

Delete The coordinates point to somewhere called
Red Hill, supported by nearby businesses with that name. With the lack of precision in the coordinates, there is a school and church in the vicinity under the name Muthurwa. The U.S. Defense Mapping Agency's
Kenya, Official Standard Names Approved by the United States Board on Geographic Names lists Muthurua Farm with these coordinates, but with the class "FRM" for farm not "PPL" for populated place! (Muthurua is separate) This source is related to the GEOnet Names Server, which is deprecated for notability at
WP:RSP. I'd suggest mass deletion of all the unsourced one-sentence stubs on
Central Province (Kenya) and others, unless
MIDI cares to go back and add sources and content establishing that they are in fact notable villages. These were mass created in violation of
WP:MASSCREATION, which was required per
this discussion the previous year for this exact reason – automated creation from databases does not necessarily indicate notability, accuracy/verifiability, or that the longstanding requirements for multiple significant sources are met.

Comment: This is a serious issue that near to 99% of villages and settlements of
Central Province (Kenya) and
Coast Province are single line sentence with no notability and ref. The page creator's edit is also a serious concern as he has created a total of 1,667 such articles (
proof) with 47.4% Minor edits and 77.2% (smaller than 20 bytes) Small edits (
proof). In my opinion, these edits attract edit count increase intention that falls under
WPNTH by doing such 1 line articles those are not notable, no ref. Probably I'm not the suitable one to raise the concern at ANI as I'm a too junior editor. I'm really surprised to see the way of being a senior editor with such edits. Someone should raise the concern at
ANI as such edits will surely encourage others to increase their edit counts by such an unethical method. - Signed by NeverTry4MeTalk03:02, 30 June 2022 (UTC)reply
