After searching, unable to find references to establish notability for this village article. It is missing information to show the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article by using multiple sources that meet four criteria. The sources should be (1) reliable (2) secondary (3) independent of the subject (4) talk about the subject in some depth. Created on 1 November 2013. JoeNMLC ( talk) 18:06, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

- Delete The place does not possess sufficient notability to warrant inclusion in Wikipedia. It fails WP:GNG and WP:PLACE. According to my recent Google search, the only notable entity related to this place is the NGO called Patebari Rural Development Society.
- Surprisingly, the NGO is situated in Makhibaha, Nalbari District, as mentioned in the "about us" section of the aforementioned website. Hence, I began to suspect the existence of the place. Saurabh Saha 17:26, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: here's what I've done for similar Indian towns and villages:
- Look for it on Google Earth to see what's there.
- Google "Indian census"+Assam. Go to the page for the state census from 2011 (or 2021 if available).
- Download the huge spreadsheet that lists all the villages and their individual statistics. This will take awhile - the server is slow, sometimes even unresponsive.
- Look for Patebari Gaon in the Nalbari district. If it's listed, it's considered officially recognized and meets WP:GEOLAND.
- (Note that GEOLAND mentions " census tracts" - that's not what these villages are). Also, spelling can vary between our articles and the census due to differences in transliteration from the Assamese language.
- I'd do this myself expect I'm in an area with sketchy internet access for several days.
