I'm having difficulty locating any sources of this place, and although Google Maps says this place does exist, the numerous tags on the article lead me to believe that the article is either non-notable or a hoax. The article has been tagged for having no references since 2011, for not meeting WP:GNG since 2012, and tagged as an orphan since 2012 as well. Since there is no notability guideline for places (as far as I'm aware of), I'm going off GNG here and saying that there's no significant coverage, no reliable sources, and those that I have seen on Google do not suggest that this place needs it's own article.

Keep - It's definitely a town, and appears to be a significant and historic one at that. There's no such thing as a "non-notable" town/village/population center. A town of this size in the US or UK would never make it to AfD. Is this a case of systemic bias? --Oakshade (talk) 05:11, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. I'm now certain that the town exists, but I still can't find any reliable sources. If I find a census from India that shows how much population this town has to at least give it a source, then I'll withdraw the nomination. Aerospeed (Talk) 14:59, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Using the pin code, finding many more non-WP sites showing the town by removing the "Bhaika" affectation. [1][2][3][4] There are frequently many Latin spellings of Hindi and other Indian language place names. Google Maps frequently has the less-used.--Oakshade (talk) 05:18, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

use this and update the article. User:Vigyani 08:14, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
