Alor Gajah Municipal Council

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Proposed deletion, contested on the spurious grounds that "we keep almost all articles on locations". However, this isn't an article on a location—those already exist at Alor Gajah (for the topic of this article) and Alor Gajah District (for the "Regional overview" section tacked onto the end to try to pad it out). This pseudoarticle is just a piece of advertising from the local council about how great they are, and contains nothing of value (every local authority in the world is responsible for infrastructure, managing private sector investment in public services, and encouraging economic development). &#8209; Iridescent 13:13, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep, nothing wrong with an article about a Municipal Council. It would satisfy notability. As for the advertising bit, it can be cleaned up. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 13:18, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep This is a municipal council and municipal councils in Malaysia are specifically for places with > 150,000 population. See this for more info. The council has a certain importance in the city/town so I would suggest to keep it. I have added it to my watchlist and I will continue to monitor it for any fluff. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 01:32, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - there's no reason why a municipal council cannot be notable, but like every other article subject there needs to be Significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. What's available might be limited by language and digitisation, and we should be sensitive to that in assessing AfD's. But in this case there are no sources at all, other than the council's own website which does not meet the GNG standard. In this absence of any secondary sources, we can credibly proceed to remove this article from the encyclopedia without prejudice to recreation if/when there is credible evidence of its notability. -- Euryalus (talk) 11:28, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
