No assertion of notability in this article of an Indian village. There's no references, and the style is very subjective Gilliam 23:16, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete for utter failure to establish notability. Eddie.willers 23:54, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: all settlements are notable. The article should be trimmed down, not deleted. They have a minimal website. Pavel Vozenilek 00:22, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep aside from what Pavel says, it was (if the article isn't lying) the birthplace of a president of India. Nyttend 01:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep If it was an American town where an American President was born, that alone would be enough to establish notability. There would be placards and signs saying, "Birthplace of" all over the place. Thus, this village has to be kept as it is the home of a head of state of a major country.Balloonman 17:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep: For pity's sake, almost all "census-designated places" in the US have articles, and there are some in my densely populated home state with fewer than a thousand residents (cf. Millers Falls, Massachusetts). This isn't a terrificly well written article, but that isn't the point.  RGTraynor  20:38, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of India-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 13:16, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Villages are notable. Besides, this is an Assembly Constituency (one of the ten in the Kottayam district), and there are eight Gram panchayats in the Uzhavoor block[1]. Plus, this is birthplace of President of India[2]. utcursch | talk 15:25, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
