:More to the point, do they need to be here? Sure, they are notable by definition, whether people like that policy or not (plenty do not think that all villages should have a presence, just as plenty think not all high schools should). However, you seem to be suggesting that you are somehow acting on behalf of the  villagers, which is an unusual approach. A stub without context (geo data etc) is particularly meaningless and likely to irritate people with a less tolerant attitude, so perhaps doing a little more basic work on each one would go a long way towards placating the situation. You have said that the information is out there, so why not add it yourself? You perhaps need to be more aware that the "divide" includes problems with non-Indian editors finding sources, especially with the sometimes confusing (to them) subcontinental naming conventions, transliteration issues etc. Your help in ameliorating this divide would be great. -
