Poovaipalayam is a village near Vedasandur in Tamil Nadu ( source). It is so small that it does not figure in the 2001 census; the demographics section is a remnant of the copy/paste edit that created this article. There are many villages in the state, and I don't believe this one is notable enough. The source I listed above is one of only three I could find (see here); even then, the village is only briefly mentioned among many others. — Sunnya343✈ ( háblamemy work) 18:47, 28 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep There are many villages all over the world, and we keep articles on them if they can be shown to exist even if they have a much smaller population than 700. What is so special about Tamil Nadu that we should treat villages there any differently? 86.17.222.157 ( talk) 20:55, 28 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Actually, the 700 figure appears to be unsourced, originating in the statement "population: approx. 700 in 2009" by the creator of the article. Also, I suggest you read WP:GNG and other parts of that guideline. — Sunnya343✈ ( háblamemy work) 21:31, 28 October 2016 (UTC) reply
@ Narky Blert: Poovaipalayam does not appear to be legally recognised. I searched for it in the 2011 census list of villages, but the village did not come up. — Sunnya343✈ ( háblamemy work) 01:47, 29 October 2016 (UTC) reply
