No sources cited for this village. Was likely NN back in 2010, but would be notable now if there is indeed a population there. UtherSRG (talk) 16:34, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• comment There is a settlement at the supplied coordinates but I cannot verify that this is its name. Mangoe (talk) 01:24, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I verified using Google Earth that this is the name of the settlement at those coordinates (if you click on the little icons for stores, it'll come up with the store name and address including the town name).

Comment Google Earth indicates several hundred closely packed buildings. The 2011 census population was reported as 1352.^{[onefivenine.com/india/villages/Mandya/Mandya/Eachagere]} WP:GEOLAND says "Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low." This place is definitely populated. In the UK or North America it would be notable if it were a standalone town, even unincorporated. I am unable to determine its legal status. I looked on the websites for Karnataka state and Mandya District - neither were very helpful. I learned Karnataka has 26,000 villages. The Indian Census has a population finder page for villages and towns but I couldn't get it to work. You can download a spreadsheet of population figures; it's 333 MB. This place does not meet WP:GNG as I couldn't find reliable sources to cite other than the one link in my earlier comment above; that cite is blacklisted. If Echagere is notable, it's because of WP:GEOLAND. This is all I have time for today. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 04:05, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

More on that link.

Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 236#onefivenine.com - broad consensus sought

onefivenine.com and a number of similar Indian data agglomeration sites were deemed unreliable.

Strong keep 2011 Indian census indicates the village has a primary and a middle school.[1] Google Maps shows 3 temples and 2 stores.

Note that Echagere is spelled "Eachagere" in the Indian census.Either is a transliteration from the Kannada language word, ಇಚೆಗೆರೆ. It’s clear from the census entry it’s the same village based on distances to named nearby locations. A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 18:10, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Presumed notable per WP:GEOLAND as a verified, legally recognised populated place. Rupples (talk) 06:50, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
