Difference between Delhi and New Delhi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:NOTESSAY. Redirect either to Delhi or New Delhi would be an option but there's little content that is encyclopedically useful that isn't already mentioned in either of those articles.  Dr Strauss   talk   10:57, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Dear Dr Strauss, I Duly respect your suggestion to delete this page. But, I want to inform you that, I personally am a Delhiite, I have lived all my life in Delhi. But trust me, I felt the need to create this article because even we Delhiites are unaware of this difference. They just mess up using these terms interchanging. I myself had to search and flip a lot of pages and dig through all the information to collect it at one place where people may come and gather knowledge and may realize there difference.

It's a humble request to you, Kindly let this page to stay so that people stop getting confused between Delhi and New Delhi.

Thanking you

 * Delete per nom. The WP:Lead to New Delhi states clearly enough: "Although colloquially Delhi and New Delhi are used interchangeably to refer to the National Capital Territory of Delhi, these are two distinct entities, with New Delhi forming a small part of Delhi." If the article creator thinks some valid point has been omitted in these articles, he should attempt to add there, provided it is not original research or a personal essay.

 * Delete just plain not the type of thing a free standing encyclopedia article is written on.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:46, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree that this looks like an essay and personally I don't think this should exist as its own article. However, it would be good to explain some of the content in the Delhi and New Delhi article. There is definitely a difference between Delhi and New Delhi and it is something which many people get confused about. I think having mentions in these two articles will be good for everyone.--DreamLinker (talk) 20:23, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete this is an essay and it should be discussed in the New Delhi article. I don't see anything worth merging. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 00:40, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a place for essays, and this is an essay. The topic should probably be touched on in the relevant articles themselves, but this is not how this should be covered, at all. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:51, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
