Cities in the developing world

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Appears to be a personal essay. Interesting, but fails WP:OR & WP:SYN. I don't think it's salvageable, as there's very little linkage between the cities mentioned, aside from their location in the developing world. Recommend Delete, but wouldn't be opposed to a fundamental rewrite. //  Chris  (complaints) • (contribs) 21:57, 9 October 2008 (UTC) 
 * At this point, I'd suggest it be deleted, but it might be rescued. Bearian (talk) 23:09, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. This isn't even a very good essay. The first point made is that "a defining characteristic of all major cities, both modern and ancient, is disease brought about by overpopulation", which isn't even true. (New York is a major city, for instance, but it's hardly defined by being disease-ridden!) The rest isn't much better. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 04:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete personal essay; original research. Any useful information here may be moved to Third World. Themfromspace (talk) 06:56, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Cities in the developing world are the cities of tomorrow... Yeah. Delete JuJube (talk) 07:09, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
