Laroi: The page of the user who did so would suggest that they may not be entirely neutral about article deletion, especially when it comes to topics that have received little coverage in English media (they were recently blocked for their polemical comments about deletion discussions).  This village is only mentioned (that I can find) in a few user generated sources.  Its name in Punjabi is not given in any of them, which leaves me unable to attempt to find non-English sources (Wikipedia also does not have a non-English article on it).  As much as I dislike further lessening our coverage of the world outside of the Anglosphere, this article is too much of a mess to simply leave in the encyclopedia.  Deletion is, of course, not cleanup , but without any reliable sources whatsoever, there is no cleanup that can be done.

A Google satellite image clearly indicates a town.  Actually, 2 towns 850m apart.  Either town is big enough to be notable.  The bigger one is Laroi (ਲਾਰੋਈ), the other is Laroya (ਲਾਰੋਆ).  The coordinates (31°34′N 75°38′E) given in our article locate to Laroya, not Laroi.  Is Google Maps wrong or our article?  I'd say 50-50 either way.  This is especially true given transliteration issues between the English and Punjabi languages and between the Latin and Gurmukhi (ਗੁਰਮੁਖੀ) scripts.  This issue arises sometimes in Indian geography AfDs.  -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count ) 23:01, 31 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The Indian Census handbook for Punjab lists two villages named Laroya on the huge village data spreadsheet. [8] The Laroya, Punjab we have an article for is in another part of Punjab. The one at our Laroi article's coordinates is in the town of Bhogpur in the Jalandhar district. The population was 996 in 2011. There's no Laroi listed in the Punjab census data. -- A. B.

Thanks, L iz Read!  Talk!  22:49, 7 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak Delete , and start looking for a merger target (right now I'm thinking Nadaun, Himachal Pradesh ).  Completely unreferenced in the article page itself, and if this isn't in Indian language Wikipedias, do we even include it?  That being said, this article could be improved, and it could fulfill GNG, but so far, based on it only existing in Maps apps and the Weather Channel outside of Wikipedia, it should be deleted and/or merged.  Based on the popularity of The Kid Laroi, it's best to create a disambiguation page for Laroi if the page is kept, with a second entry saying "Laroi, a suburb of Nadaun, Himachal Pradesh ".

Relisting comment: Relisting as opinion here is divided.  Is there some sentiment to Merge some content or at least Redirect this page to another target article?  Please add new comments below this notice.  Thanks, L iz Read!  Talk!  23:29, 14 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I would be open to a merger of article contents, but with it being COMPLETELY unreferenced, and AB's comment from above showing that there is no Laroi which exists at all in Indian Census Data, I have doubts.  Since this hasn't met WP:HEY, I'm still going to lean towards Delete.
