Azzefoun District

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Seems to be a typo/alternate spelling of Azeffoun. No sources; pretty much exact same coordinates. No content worth merging. —asparagusus  (interaction)  sprouts!  23:59, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Azzefoun redirects to Azeffoun, so it definitely could be an alternate spelling. —asparagusus   (interaction)  sprouts!  00:04, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect all to Tizi_Ouzou_Province. A banned user made hundreds of shitty one-line articles with no sources for Districts of Algeria. Arabic wiki says "The district does not have a legal personality, does not have financial independence, and does not have a legal or constitutional basis for its existence." so it's not clear that they need their own articles as purely administrative subdivisions.

 * Reywas92, thanks for finding that out! I would totally be fine with a redirect close. —asparagusus   (interaction)  sprouts!  13:22, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Its a district while Azeffoun is a municipality and it has several IW. Its normal for districts to have separate articles to settlements, see Separate articles for administrative divisions to settlements.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 18:36, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Reywas92. The above-linked essay is unconvincing and of course not binding on anyone. FOARP (talk) 10:57, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Zero content. Nothing to differentiate it from the other spelling. Kathlene Smoot (talk) 00:27, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Question. Isn't it preferable, if as Reywas92 says the districts have little administrative function, to redirect to the town and commune of Azeffoun where there's an informative article rather than to a list of districts with no information other than names?

 * Well the province has 21 districts and 67 communes. I don't know if this district consists of more than one commune, but if so it is probably not appropriate to redirect to one particular commune's article. Reywas92Talk 16:31, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @Reywas92 but the Azeffoun article is covering both the town and its district in the Geography section's list of villages. Is a reader looking for info. on the district likely to want info. on a list of other districts? I'd want to know what makes up this district. If we're not able to source whether there is one or several communes in the district, then just redirect to what readers are most likely looking for. When one clicks on Azeffoun in Google Maps, what I take to be the district boundary shows in a red dotted line. Roughly tracing this line with Google Maps distance calculator gives an area of 49 sq miles, consistent with the area stated in the article for the municipality of Azeffoun. Also, if the article is redirected to Tizi Ouzou Province all that will be shown is a name, unless it's decided to wikilink back to Azeffoun anyway. Your choice of redirect target is OK, but I think the reasons I've highlighted make Azeffoun a better one. Rupples (talk) 19:06, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The Arabic article and map show the district has four communes (each of which has many villages). It would be highly misleading for this district article to redirect to just one of those. It would perhaps be best if the province article listed the districts with their communes together rather than separately. Searching for Azzeffoun on Google Maps shows the commune boundary, matching the map at Azeffoun, while typing in "Azeffoun district, Algeria" does show the full district boundary. Your proposal is almost like redirecting Los Angeles County to Los Angeles. Reywas92Talk 19:32, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yep. Independently came across the other outline map showing the four communes and was hastily going to withdraw my suggestion. Your redirect target stacks up, so happy to go along with it. Rupples (talk) 19:41, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Reywas92.  // Timothy :: talk  17:39, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect per the concerns raised by the nominator. AllNotAll (talk) 18:38, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
