Ardee city

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The title of the article is "Ardee city" but the subject is not a city but a small, very small housing. No significant coverage. I mean no sources at all. Fails WP:NGEO and general notability threshold.  Jim Carter (from public cyber)  10:30, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment - There's a certain amount of (legal) controversy regarding this gated community. I doubt if it will be enough to ensure notability though:, , , , . - Takeaway (talk) 12:49, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
 * My feeling is: there is so little in the article page at present that there is no harm in deleting it. If the subject is notable, somebody else will create a proper page eventually. Kautilya3 (talk) 16:09, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Not a "city" as understood by the accepted use of the term in English, just a mundane apartment-block housing development, no architectural notability. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 19:53, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Mundane perhaps for the some areas in the West but it seems staunch middle-middle class in India, meaning relatively rich, and spread out over an area of nearly 3x3km (see 2. in my refs), which makes it around the same size as a small US town, but then semi-high rises European style probably mixed with town house areas, meaning lots more people than 1 or 2 storey, single building US middle-of-nowhere towns which do get their own page. But indeed, not very notable as it's not an official governmental subdivision in a country with more than 1 billion people and cities the size of many European countries.. - Takeaway (talk) 20:16, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Good search! But the sources you mentioned are about events related to the housing. But nothing about the Housing itself. If we add those controversies then it will look undue i.e. not balanced. The sources are not enough.   Jim Car ter  04:20, 22 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete - I also just tried getting the name transcribed in Hindi but didn't succeed. Is there even a Hindi transcription for this project's name or is this one of those "English only" things in India? As Jim Carter said, the only sources so far mention only events and do not describe the project itself in depth. And although these events are inconvenient for the people who live there, they do not seem notable enough to warrant a standalone article called "Ardee City Controversies" or such. - Takeaway (talk) 11:14, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
