Non-notable place. Fails WP:GEO and WP:V. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 13:31, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

- Keep but significantly improve. Has full paragraph here, which is clearly about the same town but contradicts quite a few facts from the other source, here. No idea how this fails WP:V though, not hard to find these sources. Fram ( talk) 13:36, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- See also e.g. here: while it is a self-published source, it again makes it clear that this was a true village, not just some named farm or so. Fram ( talk) 13:39, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- And here, calling it "once a trading center of importance". Fram ( talk) 13:40, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Finally here it is called an "old village". By all accounts meets WP:GEO and WP:V quite clearly. Fram ( talk) 13:43, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Fram has very clearly found sources that show notability. Assuming I correctly copied what Romig said on this place, he seems to not be a very reliable source. I am going to try to incorporate Fram's finds into the article. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 14:33, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep: For someone as ready as Lugnuts to howl WP:BEFORE! at the drop of a byte, he doesn't seem to have exerted himself much on this pointy AfD ... and this really isn't a good look for someone who's Wikipedia's champion for creating SIGCOV-less sub-stubs, to the point that he was recently community banned from stub creation for six months. Obvious sources are obvious. I'm comfortable with calling this a bad faith nomination. Ravenswing 14:58, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
