Landform with no evidence of notability. Almost entirely unsourced since its creation in 2014, now only being maintained by sockpuppets. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:03, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

- Keep After reverting the most recent sock addition, I have discovered that the article is supposed to be about a town, which presumptively meets WP:GNG. I recommend using WP:ECP to prevent socks from editing the page. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:41, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per above. samee converse 18:08, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per LaundryPizza03. I've edited this article; one of the sources is a permanent dead link, but the other actually supports some of the content in the page. The sockpuppetry is certainly tedious in the extreme, but not a valid reason for deletion; the protection applied by Daniel Case should help to limit that.

- Keep Did some looking and found an archived link by the National Reconstruction Bureau (NRB), Government of Pakistan that still works and replaces the 'permanent dead link' mentioned above. I have already added this link to this article. Since it's an archived link, hopefully it won't go dead on us...Ngrewal1 (talk) 17:42, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Though not altogether convinced Laspur is the name of the town — the sources in the article only confirm it's a council area. Think the village/town is called Sor Laspur, with Laspur being the name of a valley and river as well as the council. Still, the article could cover all these and Sor Laspur appears to be a legally recognised populated place under WP:GEOLAND.
