WP:BEFORE shows no evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources. Even Google Maps shows nothing more than rural countryside. No evidence of notability whatsoever - only weather database entries. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 10:28, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. References say that this is the center of a local government area and that it has a hereditary ruler. Several small Google Books references at https://www.google.com/search?q=%22bode+osi%22+&sca_esv=553407556&biw=1920&bih=931&tbm=bks&sxsrf=AB5stBjfC-jBRiYXwGz9NM0nrEjNyctYDA%3A1691060757787&ei=FYrLZJfhL8PKkPIPkr2cMA&ved=0ahUKEwjXv4uerMCAAxVDJUQIHZIeBwYQ4dUDCAk&uact=5&oq=%22bode+osi%22+&gs_lp=Eg1nd3Mtd2l6LWJvb2tzIgsiYm9kZSBvc2kiIEjhEVDqClj0CnAAeACQAQGYAXugAa4CqgEDMi4xuAEDyAEA-AEBiAYB&sclient=gws-wiz-books seem to add up to something, including this: https://books.google.com/books?id=72mU7KmLN64C&q=%22bode+osi%22&dq=%22bode+osi%22&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi3iIChrMCAAxUFKkQIHbcUBD0Q6AF6BAgLEAI Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 11:08, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:GEOLAND. See the list of villages in Osun State. It's also the HQ for its local government area ( Ola Oluwa) and listed on Osun State's list of local governments page. Our Ola Oluwa article says about the area (not the town):
It has an area of 328 km2 and a population of 76,593 according to the 2006 census.
- As for Google Maps, look 6.5 km west of it's "Bode Osi" location to a town it identifies as Bode Olla. There are multiple stores, etc. there whose names start with "Bode Osi". I'm pretty sure that's our town.

- Keep. Clearly meets WP:GEOLAND. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 13:49, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: this is a populated place with several references about it so it passes WP:GEOLAND. InterstellarGamer12321 ( talk | contribs) 09:47, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
