The result was speedy keep. Closing as Speedy Keep as LISTCRUFT doesn't even apply here!, I question whether the nom even knows what "Listcruft" even is!, Obvious Keep is obvious (non-admin closure) –Davey2010^Talk 13:41, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, by no means WP:Listcruft (i.e. "a term some editors use to refer to indiscriminate or trivial lists."). A taluk should be notable per WP:NGEO. Covers 80 villages, http://www.kanchi.tn.nic.in/wal_taluk.html . --Soman (talk) 11:25, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep – Listcruft is not a valid rationale for deletion, and the topic passes WP:GEOLAND as a populated, legally-recognized place by the Government of India: ^[1]^[2]. Furthermore, a list of villages is certainly not "listcruft". See WP:FIVEPILLARS, where it is explained how the encyclopedia functions in part as an almanac.

Keep - this article isn't inherently just a list; it's fundamentally about a taluk (an administrative division) and hence inherently notable per WP:GEOLAND as a legally-reconized place. Granted it could use some expansion to add some extra info about the taluk itself, but I don't see that as a reason to delete. _└^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 12:03, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
