Group urban

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A term created by "The Commercial Press" of China, that only seems to be used in publications by that publisher. No independent indication of notability. Ahecht (TALK PAGE ) 01:59, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

more independent descriptions are included. This concept is widely accepted by Chinese media, and widely used in urban planning in China. Also it is in the textbooks of geography in China. It is a special concept developed to suit the special urban development derived from complicated administrative issues. Groverlynn (talk) 03:00, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

 * In that case, you shouldn't have tossed Budapest into the mix: "the cities was (sic) merged from Buda and Pest, along the two sides of Donau River," which is most assuredly not an example of this Chinese urban merger concept. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:36, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and WP:SYNTH. I've looked at the three references we can access and they all seem to be talking about urban groups in different senses (and one is a tertiary source, an encyclopedia, which may not be considered a reliable source.) I'll keep a watch on this, but I don't know that we have a distinct concept here. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:20, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete -- seems to be derived from a single paper, and the article quality is poor so WP:TNT applies. K.e.coffman (talk) 09:52, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
