The article's subject fails WP:GNG. It has been unsourced for 9 years. The article was deprodded by Tavix. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 00:26, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:GEOLAND, populated places are never deleted outright from Wikipedia, so long as they can be properly verified as real places rather than WP:HOAXes. However, if its simple existence is the only thing we can verify about it, and there's really nothing else properly sourceable to say, then the alternative that we do have is to redirect it to a larger related topic rather than leaving it as a permanently unsourced standalone topic. Since this is a subdistrict of the larger city of Surakarta, accordingly, the most appropriate solution here is to redirect it to Surakarta. Bearcat (talk) 00:33, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I see references that predate the creation of the Wikipedia article, so this is not a hoax. Curro2 (talk) 01:01, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody said or suggested that it was a hoax. But what it is, is an unreferenced article about a topic that could just as easily be addressed in the article about its parent topic rather than needing its own standalone article separately from the city it's in.

Redirect as questionably solid and improvable as its own article. SwisterTwister talk 07:40, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
