Appears to fail WP:GNG. Lack of news coverage and couldn't find any such area listed in the census. According to Google Translate, 'Kantha vibhag' means 'Coastal department'. Cesdeva ( talk) 11:38, 27 April 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - This is weird. The creator says it is a "small town" in their edit summary but the two (related) websites they use refer to Kantha Vibhag Navsari area and suggest, as Cesdeva intimates, something other than a town. I wonder if this is someone trying to promote that website, which seems to have a worthy environmental objective but isn't necessarily referring to a populated place etc. I, too, have struggled to find it in census records. - Sitush ( talk) 23:56, 30 April 2018 (UTC) reply
@ Sitush: It sure is strange. I'm beginning to question whether the machine-translation of 'Kantha vibhag' was too literal, and that perhaps it has more equivalency to the English term '(the) seaside'.
The sudden cessation of editing by the page creator also adds to the mystery. Anyway I think we've entered a cul-de-sac. Cesdeva ( talk) 09:18, 1 May 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Note to closer: We appear to have reached a unanimous consensus that this article is weird. Cesdeva ( talk) 18:14, 3 May 2018 (UTC) reply
