Cant find any reliable source to find the notability of this place. Seems to be original research. No reference links can be find. Benedictdilton (talk) 18:07, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

  • Delete - only mentions I could find on the entire internets are this article itself. Ansh666 00:45, 14 June 2013 (UTC) Waiting for people to find sources, below. I can't really help, so I'll just sit here awkwardly. Ansh666 23:30, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
  • It's been almost a week with no response - delete. Ansh666 21:17, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Comment: There seems to a Kudkady located 16km from Puttur, Karnataka [http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=12.770000&lon=75.220000&z=13&m=b&search=kudkady per Wikimapia]. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 05:18, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Well, maybe it exists. Don't really think that qualifies it to pass WP:NGEO or even WP:GNG, though. Ansh666 05:28, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
  • If a village does exist, we have kept them per WP:NPLACE regardless of their size and failure of GNG. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 06:28, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
  • The question per WP:NGEO (which I think WP:NPLACE is based on) is if it has legal recognition - if yes, then keep it; if no, then by WP:GNG it shouldn't stay. I honestly have no idea how to find this out. Ansh666 06:40, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Interesting point this legal recognition is. Now there are two main problems in finding proper stuff. One is that this spelling might not be the most popular one. And another is that many Kannadigas use their place's name in their name; as first name. Thats making it difficult to search. I will request some Kannada speaking guys to check this out. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 11:02, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Comment: Hi, the place does exists and the spelling might be different, it is either spelt as Kudkady or Kadkadi. Give me some time, a day atleast and I will find the source. -sarvajna (talk) 11:31, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

  • Question - given its user-created nature, does WikiMapia count as a WP:RS? Ansh666 23:28, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

:: Google maps are taken as reliable with regard to the name and location of places. In the reference http://spdk.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html there is police FIR recorded in Kukkudy Village by the Dakshina Kannada District Police. It is an official site of the police station though url mentions it as a blog. The text of FIR reads "Google Book search gives 56 hits of Kukkady, as surname of doctors and scientists. In south India, it is traditional to keep the name of place of birth as part of the name or as surname. FIR Text reads “A case of Non Fatal Road accident has been registered in Venoor Police Station. On 27/09/2009 at 1020 hrs at Ambedkar Nagar Kukkady village Belthangady Taluk one Udaya Kumar rider of motorcycle bearing Reg. No. KA-21-H-8615 drove his vehicle in a rash and negligent manner and collided against one Vimala a pedestrian and caused her grievous injuries.” Further Google search of books gives gives 56 hits of Kukkady, as surname of doctors and scientists. In South India, it is traditional to keep the name of place of birth as part of the name or as surname.--Nvvchar. 00:22, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
