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✈ (

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?

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✈ (

Keep. Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low, per
WP:GEOLAND. (I once came across an article about a village in Poland with one inhabitant - notable? yes.)
