  • Verified settlements, cities, towns, etc., are generally considered inherently notable as it's impossible for them to exist without sources (see WP:OUTCOMES). This being an isolated village in a Spanish speaking nation in what many people would consider a "developing" region makes finding online sources for English speakers difficult. Whether on paper and/or in Spanish, they certainly exist.-- Oakshade ( talk) 21:42, 15 June 2014 (UTC) reply
@ Oakshade: Well, I really don't see how we can keep an article with no sources, regardless of notability. United States Man ( talk) 03:16, 16 June 2014 (UTC) reply
As WP:AFD states, barring serious BLP issues, if sources exist but are simply not in the article, that's not a proper basis for deletion. -- Oakshade ( talk) 04:18, 16 June 2014 (UTC) reply
I did that. This article could very possibly be saved; but, as a starter, it should be saved from the monopoly of Manolito, at least until 18:09 hours local time, to give them some time to develop their English.

Sorry, but I don't follow. Ansh 666 17:17, 17 June 2014 (UTC) reply
I moved the article to the correct name of the place, that is all. Regards. -- Why should I have a User Name? ( talk) 17:28, 17 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

  • Keep The article is about a permanently populated town, so it should be presumed to be notable. Spirit of Eagle ( talk) 02:40, 19 June 2014 (UTC) reply
    • There is no such thing as "inherent notability", I assume you mean "presumed notable". Ansh 666 10:35, 19 June 2014 (UTC) reply
      • Its a legitimate concept. I'm essentially arguing that towns with permanent populations automatically meet notability requirements. Spirit of Eagle ( talk) 23:38, 19 June 2014 (UTC) reply

          • Fine, I give. I've edited my comment, although this doesn't change my belief that towns with permanent populations are deserving of articles. Spirit of Eagle ( talk) 03:34, 20 June 2014 (UTC) reply
