Gombak (federal constituency)

Seems very similar to Gombak District, maybe could be merged but I'm not sure. Also has no references. Sports Devotee (talk) 11:30, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Done put official sources from the Election Commission as references. You should access this link for data verification.
 * Gombak District (Daerah Gombak) should not be confused with Gombak Federal Constituency (Bahagian Pilihan Raya Persekutuan Gombak). Gombak (federal constituency) should has its stand-alone article because the article will elaborate more about election result. Take Category:Canadian federal electoral districts as example.

 * Keep Although the district and the constituency are coterminous, I believe they are worthy of separate articles (this is certainly what happens in the UK sphere). Number   5  7  22:23, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. Generally constituencies have separate articles, even if they are coterminous with other entities. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:37, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep at best as similar articles have been started and this is convincing enough, no serious needs for deleting. SwisterTwister   talk  05:21, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep They are 2 separate entities, even if boundaries are coterminous. One is an administrative subdivision and another is an electoral subdivision. The WP:SCOPE of Gombak District is the administrative district while the scope of Gombak (federal constituency) is about the elections in this electoral division. The current article titles are WP:PRECISE and merging both under the name Gombak would introduce nedless ambiguity. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 11:56, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
