Ciudad Losada

 * – ( View AfD View log )

After I created Jesús Enrique Lossada Municipality and was looking for the corresponding Wikidata item, I found that another user (now blocked) had created this stub on the same municipality back in 2007. I did not find it earlier because "Ciudad Lossada" (i.e., Lossada City) is not the name for this municipality; rather, it's the name of a sector (i.e., neighbourhood) in the nearby city of Maracaibo (Google Maps), most notable for being the site of a failed urban housing project. (Coverage in Spanish:, )

Redirecting "Ciudad Losada" to Jesús Enrique Lossada Municipality would therefore be misleading. It would also be wrong. Aside from the spelling mistake, I have not seen any source call this mostly rural municipality a city. It is definitely not a city in the formal sense: according to the Spanish Wikipedia, cities in Venezuela must have fewer than 25% of their population working in agriculture.

Given there is no need to leave a redirect, and there is nothing really left to merge to the article I wrote, I propose a simple deletion. Cobblet (talk) 21:52, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't think a redirect would be terrible, but this is clearly wrong and needs to be deleted. SportingFlyer  T · C  22:31, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
