Can't verify existance of the village. There is absolutely no sources for the air crash occuring here either. KzKrann (talk) 14:04, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep For both Yazgan and Ezgand I see valid references, such as weather reports and maps. WP:NGEO states that inhabited places are inherently notable. Also, since this is in Tajikistan there's always the possibility that English sources might not be readily available. There is no need for assertion of notability via being nearby anything, nor the place or approximate location of any event. That said, if the claim is not verifiable then it should be removed. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 21:40, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Google maps confirms the existence of Yazgan/Ezgand, it so meets WP:GEOLAND. I can't seem to find any references for the air crash though. Most English sources state that it occurred in Rasht Valley, but don't mention nearby inhabited locales. Could possibly be Tajik sources out there that support it.

Keep - Per WP:GEOLAND. This appears to be a populated, legally-recognized place. Northamerica1000^(talk) 02:49, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As the others have found above, it does appear to be a real village. Confirming places of non-English speaking countries is frequently a challenge like it is here. --Oakshade (talk) 05:56, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
