The result was delete. Consensus is delete by strength of argument. The only source presented is not reliable, and whether it is of any use for the current topic is shaky. If this is truly an actual settlement
verifiable by reliable sources, an article of equal length could be built with little additional volunteer effort.

WP:HOAX. The already dubious references cited in the article do not mention the supposed village at all, nor am I able to find a single source/RS which even mentions it. The statement "It is unknown if Uskut is now under Pakistani administration. The Delhi based SIA conducted raids on Uskut and Uri because both of the villages were under militant control." is also a blatant hoax by the creator of this article, who has already created hoax articles on other wikis (e.g.
simplewiki).

Disagree - The source indicates that there is a village across the LoC which is called Uskut.

The only source in the article now is this
dubious one and nowhere is Uskut mentioned there. If this village existed there would be census or geographical records of it, none exist.

The article mentions
Ushkur, the ancient Buddhist site near the village.

Perhaps you have not read it, it does not; and even if it did mention it (the ancient site), that will not prove the existence of this modern village. Besides it is a blog, i.e., not
WP:RS and still not seeing a single census or geographical source for the existence of this village.

I have moved it to draft and will not be back into the main page unless more improvements on the article.
