Accountability mechanisms in local governments in Kerala

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Essay-style article on rather arcane topic. Dougie WII (talk) 21:19, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

See other related articles by same originating editor: Comment: I have moved these discussions here as they are substantially similar. There may be one or two comments on the old discussion pages which have been lost, but I have moved the pages to the oldest discussion which had the most comments. Apologies if one or two contributions are missing, but I felt this was the most efficient way to discuss the articles. Kim Dent-Brown  (Talk)  10:41, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - I originally tried to PROD this article. I agree it should be deleted.  Reads like an essay.    It's synthesis of other research makes it original research and the lack of in-line referencing means that it cannot be determined what is OR and what is cited research.  Parts of it could be incorporated into Kerala. Gillyweed (talk) 21:35, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. "The purpose of this paper is to examine those accountability mechanisms existing in the local governence scenario in Kerla. ...", violates WP:NOR. Sandstein (talk) 22:21, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Don't delete This is an important debate for a country that is home to 1.2 billion people. While I agree that it is not in the Wikipedia format, and contains original research, deleting it would be a drastic way of tackling its current inadequacies. --59.95.19.251 (talk) 03:15, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Unencyclopedic. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 17:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and encourage editor to contribute to existing articles such as Decentralization (have done so on his/her talk page.) Kim Dent-Brown   (Talk)  10:41, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Kim Dent-Brown   (Talk)  10:57, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Please make an objective examination of the article before deleting the articles. I am the largest collector of books on decentralisation in India and can say authoritatively that the contents are undisputed facts and not personal perceptions. Many of the points are from official government records. As well, my ignorance of editing made it imperfect. I can make it better by learning the editing techniques. Regarding references, I can attribute innumerable.
 * Please examine objectively before deletion

See for example the reference list in the Kerala Decentralisation : Problems and Prospects, those problems are mainly consolidated on the basis of a study by Institute of Rural Management, Anand - a most respected institution in the country.
