Erode Metropolitan Area

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No such geographical or administrative entity exists. The article's contents are pure fantasy. The article creator has falsified information for promoting his home town before. He is now currently blocked for pov pushing and introducing false information. He usually adds false data about Erode's population and geographical spread, but now has gone a step beyond to create a whole new administrative entity out of his imagination. The Prod was contested by an IP (whom i suspect is the author) without any rationale. Sodabottle (talk) 12:16, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

 * But according to the article, Erode is a conurbation including two agglomerations, and has its own nodal agency. There must be something notable about that, right? Just kidding.  Delete Delete Delete Delete EEng (talk) 12:35, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Erode is a single city/UA and the city is administered by Erode Municipal Corporation. Both have articles on their own. What the creator tries to do is, merge the neigbouring cities like Bhavani, Tamil Nadu and other parts of the Erode District into the city and create a whole new entity. Earlier he simply used to add them to the Erode article and claim, the city has grown. Once blocked and reverted, he has switched to creating a new administrative/geographical entity with a slightly different name.--Sodabottle (talk) 12:42, 28 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete This metro exists only on Wikipedia because we have one disruptive user who keeps introducing factual inaccuracies regarding his hometown across many many articles. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  13:30, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Maybe we can merge it to anode or cathode, mother lode or B road? EEng (talk) 13:45, 28 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Pretty funny. When this started showing up my watchlist, I thought it might really be a Tamil place. I wonder what people have to gain from creating fictitious places. This is a new meaning to "castles in the air." Zuggernaut (talk) 14:15, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually the infobox at Erode has a metro entry. Is that accurate? Zuggernaut (talk) 14:19, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * If it is a metro, then i am the king of Tamil Nadu :-). Thanks for the catch, i have modified the infobox--Sodabottle (talk) 14:33, 28 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete: Imaginary metropolitan area/city. A quick google search as of now shows only wikipedia (this article) with the exact result. The article seems to be a promotion by the author. Why so serious?  Talk to me 14:24, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, per WP:SNOW.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 14:45, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * 'comment there is a metropolitan area that surrounds Erode even if it is not official, and even if this article is poorly formatted.Thisbites (talk) 15:11, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * There is the Erode urban agglomeration and there are other towns/cities. There is no "metropolitan area". And it certainly does not include Bhavani, Tamil Nadu. It is a separate city. Even unofficially (i live 70km from Erode) no one calls it a single entity.--Sodabottle (talk) 15:28, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
