The page title is likely a misspelling of Simple. A WP:BEFORE search mostly returns results unrelated to the village. I cannot find evidence that this article meets WP:NPLACE. FAdesdae378 (talk · contribs) 00:00, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A placename with confirmed addresses within it and +5k people shouldn't be deleted, and a simple hatnote takes care of the spelling issue with "simple", "smile", or "simile". Nate • (chatter) 00:35, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Populated places are not inherently notable. I did not find significant coverage of the village in reliable sources. All search results are about something else named "Simle". I do not understand your argument at all. Even if the village is notable, it is clearly not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. FAdesdae378 (talk · contribs) 01:45, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Your argument that 'people misspell a word and come here' is fixed with a simple WP:HATNOTE and there's no cause to delete this article otherwise. The only other existing 'Simle' topic is a middle school in Bismarck, North Dakota, which is also covered with a 'see Bismarck Public Schools' hatnote (though I don't feel we even need it).

Keep. Google News search for "simle" "nepal" shows plenty of local news for the area. Also, the first point in WP:NPLACE justifies an article even by itself. — Gmarmstrong (talk) 02:44, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems to meet WP:NPLACE. Retinalsummer (talk) 03:08, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This needs expert examination. There may be a place called Simle on the map, but since I can't read the language, I can't verify that. However, according to the article on village development committees, they no longer exist. So is this something that used to exist and doesn't any more, or should it be described as something different? Mangoe (talk) 13:56, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Even if they no longer exist the N for the community doesn't expire so there's likely a different definition we can put it under. Nate • (chatter) 22:28, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've added details about what it's now part of to the article; the Phedap Rural Municipality. Nate • (chatter) 23:34, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep:Populated & legally recognized place, so meets WP:NPLACE. It is the 'Village Development Committee' that was merged to form a 'rural municipality', the village exists. ~ Yeti Dai (talk)
Keep it seems to be a village and former division with census data so is probably inherently notable. Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:09, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
