Why all settlements in Kenya are listed? How it is mandatory? No notability at all. _{- Signed by}NeverTry4Me ^Talk 08:02, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the backlog of tiny villages with no notability indications whatsoever is probably a good 10% of the unreferenced article backlog. I'm going to go through and try to find some more articles to nominate under the Kenya list. Kazamzam (talk) 20:10, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The coordinates point to somewhere called Red Hill, supported by nearby businesses with that name. With the lack of precision in the coordinates, there is a school and church in the vicinity under the name Muthurwa. The U.S. Defense Mapping Agency's Kenya, Official Standard Names Approved by the United States Board on Geographic Names lists Muthurua Farm with these coordinates, but with the class "FRM" for farm not "PPL" for populated place! (Muthurua is separate) This source is related to the GEOnet Names Server, which is deprecated for notability at WP:RSP.
I'd suggest mass deletion of all the unsourced one-sentence stubs on Central Province (Kenya) and others, unless MIDI cares to go back and add sources and content establishing that they are in fact notable villages. These were mass created in violation of WP:MASSCREATION, which was required per this discussion the previous year for this exact reason – automated creation from databases does not necessarily indicate notability, accuracy/verifiability, or that the longstanding requirements for multiple significant sources are met.

No objection, and I've put in a bot request to facilitate. Thanks, MIDI (talk) 22:32, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This is a serious issue that near to 99% of villages and settlements of Central Province (Kenya) and Coast Province are single line sentence with no notability and ref. The page creator's edit is also a serious concern as he has created a total of 1,667 such articles (proof) with 47.4% Minor edits and 77.2% (smaller than 20 bytes) Small edits (proof). In my opinion, these edits attract edit count increase intention that falls under WPNTH by doing such 1 line articles those are not notable, no ref. Probably I'm not the suitable one to raise the concern at ANI as I'm a too junior editor.
I'm really surprised to see the way of being a senior editor with such edits. Someone should raise the concern at ANI as such edits will surely encourage others to increase their edit counts by such an unethical method. _{- Signed by}NeverTry4Me ^Talk 03:02, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:GEOLAND guides us that all populated or formerly populated places are notable. CT55555 (talk) 03:23, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@CT55555 not so. Because of this. _{- Signed by}NeverTry4Me ^Talk 05:59, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is no need to go to ANI @NeverTry4Me, when @MIDI has offered a suggestion/solution above. NB: unsourced doesn't mean unsourceable. Star Mississippi 03:30, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Star Mississippi and what about just 1 line article issue and WP:BURDEN? I have landed those pages from my Homepage._{- Signed by}NeverTry4Me ^Talk 03:41, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
