Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chittagong Madar Bari (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Double Mooring Thana. No keep votes, and creating a redirect at least keeps the history, if at a later time it becomes clearer that this is an actual defined area. (non-admin closure)  Onel 5969  TT me 15:46, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Chittagong Madar Bari

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a neighborhood, as stated in the poorly attended first deletion discussion. West Madarbari and East Madarbari are city council wards in Chittagong. West Madarbari and part of East Madarbari are in Double Mooring Thana. The remainder of East Madarbari is in Kotwali Thana.

There are no shortage of Google hits for Madarbari (filter out the village in India with -Assam), but they are mere mentions (e.g. "fire service responded to an incident in East Madarbari"). I couldn't find non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources as called for by WP:GEOLAND.

Redirecting to the next most general level would be problematic because the neighborhood is spread over two thanas. It would have to redirect to Chittagong City Corporation or Chittagong. In any case, the article title, "Chittagong Madar Bari" is not a plausible redirect.

The only sourced fact in the article is that Mazharul Islam Chowdhury is councilor for Chittagong ward 30, East Madarbari. The unsourced remainder is useless. This is a case for WP:TNT. If someone wants to write two articles about the two legally recognized wards, fine, but this shambles of a neighborhood article is not a suitable starting point for that.

 * Delete in any case if it cannot be improved as the current version could certainly be better but of course that's not surprising with these Middle Eastern subjects. Thanks again for pinging as I'm always open to be pinged about any subject I encountered but I'm also curious what impulsed you to actually nominate it again (I often wish to relist them myself again and will if I have the enthusiasm and actually will have to go through my list as I never remove those from my watchlist).

 * Actually now that I look through your recent contributions, it seems you were patrolling orphaned Bangladesh geography articles. SwisterTwister   talk  07:22, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to Double Mooring Thana as suggested at the first afd. Neighborhoods need either some formal definition, on consistent use in multiple sources, not just an informal occasional use. I do not see the necessary individual notability clearly enough here.  DGG ( talk ) 00:30, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
