Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Harikela
I've never seen a ''country'' up for AfD before.  Just a 5 second book search showed, according to the ''Encyclopaedia of Bangladesh '' and ''The Indian historical quarterly'', this was a kingdom in the southeastern Bengal region during the 700s-800s with a lineage of rulers. http://books.google.com/books?id=i4tsWh7mRwYC&pg=PA6&lpg=PA6&dq=Harikela&source=bl&ots=pJdAFt3WCG&sig=Hb3ESL5SwSx7xCH5iiNmzTSbDhM&hl=en&ei=pdA2SpvBEJCKswOp__jMDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=8#PPA6,M1http://books.google.com/books?id=bNoBAAAAMAAJ&q=Harikela&dq=Harikela&lr=&pgis=1.  According to other sources (from what I can read of them) it also was an prominent Buddhist learning center.http://books.google.com/books?id=pr-fAAAAMAAJ&q=Harikela&dq=Harikela&pgis=1.  The nom's reasoning for deleting this article, "only wiki referenced" is reason to add more references, not deleting the article.  Another violation of  example
