Commune Ango

Procedural Nomination for article re-PROD'd after having had a declined PROD. There are two main concerns: a) verifiability of the place's existence and b) notability of the place. It is my understanding that if an inhabited place is verifiable, that place is intrinsically notable. However, it has been a while since I have been involved in a debate on that matter and consensus may have changed. Thanks for your input. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:05, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because the reason for AfD, edit history and editors involved are essentially identical:

Comment The first appears to exist and I think that provides inherent notability as that consensus has not changed as far as I'm aware. The latter gets a lot of false positives, something philosophical? _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 04:24, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep All - Consensus has not changed on the inherent notability of towns/villages/population centers (I can't imagine it ever changing). All appear to exist. [1][2][3][4] --Oakshade (talk) 05:43, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep all as definitely verifiable communities. This isn't the place to attempt to change an established consensus anyway. Nyttend (talk) 19:39, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment These are not communities or villages. See Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)#Deletion. Gwen Gale (talk) 19:41, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, guys. I am from Réunion. I was born there. I lived there until I was 17. Then came back in 2004. Stayed there until 2007. I am Reunionese. I speak the local creole. I love that place. And I am an admin on the French Wikipedia. I have created the French Mascarene Portal. I have written three good articles and one featured article about my island. All in all, I have initiated about 1000 pages about Réunion there. Today I started eight. Thus, I would be very pleased if there was many articles about it in the English Wikipedia. I would love to see a complete portal dedicated to it here. Yet, I have to maintain that all this stuff listed up there should be deleted as soon as possible. The source AlbertHerring said he used to create these pages is erroneous. Biruitorul told him. I told him, and he eventually said that he would back up a deletion request. What more is required to make you understand that we are talking about tiny groups of houses with no more than a few families − if only they do exist? All the pages that show up on Google are from automated databases set to provide a commercial link related to any square meter on Earth. Nobody with local knowledge wrote them. They cannot be trusted, indeed. There are many mistakes inside. And inventions. Inventions that it would be insane to rely on, unless you are unwillingly wirting Encarta from the antipods.

With due respect (it sounds like you know a lot about this) without a RS showing that it doesn't exist, the large number of RS saying it does wins... Hobit (talk) 01:07, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are clearly not reliable on this. Gwen Gale (talk) 01:16, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per above. Corvus cornix_talk 22:12, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
