Mass-created Myanmar village geostubs in Category:Populated places in Kachin State.

All of these articles are based on dubious sources (mostly Maplandia) and the only information provided is the location. I’ve gone through the articles A-L and found that these listed articles have nothing resembling a village at a reasonable distance form the provided coordinates. They therefore all currently fail WP:V.

As an aside, the original source of most of these places appears to be old gazetteers from the 1940s and 1960s[1][2], on top of the apparent inaccuracies in the locations provided, these places also have some pretty wild transliterations that are going to be difficult to match with presently used names, particularly in cases like this where the location is clearly incorrect and it is unclear which settlement is being referenced, (for example, a place that I was able to track down and is thus not on this list, Chili Htu appears to be an old alternative transliteration of Kyee Yee Htu which appears in modern official sources [3]). Given this fact, even if some of these places are real, the effort to track the correct location and the matching it with a present day names is going to be far more burdensome that re-starting these articles from scratch with better sourcing, thus I think WP:TNT also applies.
