Google search returns nothing and other tools are also showing nothing. No sources. If a source is found, I'll probably rescind the delete request and try to fix it. The Egg of Reason | (Talk) 00:04, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There's more confusion here than meets the eye. The big clue in this very brief article is the mention of the Basava Sagar Dam. That dam is located on the Krishna River, which serves as a boundary between two districts in Karnataka -- Yadgir district and Raichur district. In Yadgir, there is a town named Devatkal, whose census listing here shows it to have a population of about 3,000. And in Raichur, there is a village named Dewatgal, whose census listing here shows it to have a population of about 1,000. (For both census listings, you need to scroll down a bit to see the list of towns.) So, which one did the article creator intend? If I had to guess, I'd say Dewatgal. But we can't be sure. And because there is so very little content here, the safer course of action is to simply delete the article. NewYorkActuary (talk) 17:39, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – I couldn't find anything about the town in my searches, but NewYorkActuary's noting convinces me to sway towards 'Delete'. This was a tricky one, because I was contemplating a move to Dewatgal, but it isn't a certainty that they're the same place. J 947^{^{^{(c) (m)}}} 03:58, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
