The result was keep. Overall consensus is for the article to be retained.

Has had a warning for violating WP:NOTADVERTISING all year with no resolution. I was going to see if I could clean it up, but it appears to be too full of content that violates WP:NOTADVERTISING. Violates WP:G11. It looks like a copy paste from a company website, with news updates and awards. It also does not provide any sourcing for most of the information.

 * Keep. I agree that article is in very poor condition and written like an advertisement. But topic is notable and major project so should not be deleted but rewritten. You may find plenty of news sources referring to it.--Nizil (talk) 05:09, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTFUTURE, WP:G11, and WP:NOTADVERTISING. Nizil It seems to have news sources referring to it, but the development appears to be in very early stages and will be for a while.  Another concern I see here is that any properly sourced information is just going to be a project/product announcement which could be against WP:NOTFUTURE. I'm not sure it can remain, as if it were to abide by WP:NOTFUTURE, WP:G11, and WP:NOTADVERTISING, it may be a very short article not worth noting. I'm not saying the GIFT project doesn't matter, but it may not have a place on wikipedia yet. - Anon1-3483579 (talk) 06:56, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Anon1-3483579, I have already said that article is in poor shape and looks like an advertisement. It is an underconstruction project and three towers are already built so it can have information on them and other proposals like we do in underconstruction infrastructure projects like Metro rails. The issues here should be is it notable or not to have an article here. And I think it is a major infrastructure project in Gujarat state and should have an article. WP:NOTFUTURE and WP:NOTADVERTISING can be dealt with by cleaning up the article. WP:G11 specifically says "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform with Wikipedia:NOTFORPROMOTION. If a subject is notable and the content could plausibly be replaced with text that complies with neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion." So rewriting this article is preferable to deletion.--Nizil (talk) 05:24, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Searching under the article title and "GIFT City," there does seem to be enough English language sources to meet WP:GEOLAND for city districts. I'm aware that there can be advertorial issues in even major Indian dailies, but I still think we have enough coverage in reliable sources, taken as a whole. And of course there's the issue that this is only English and there would be undoubtedly be Gujarati language sources, too. Whatever the issues with the article, I'd say keep.

 * Keep. The article does need significant work, but the subject seems to meet WP:GEOLAND. An alternative to deletion, if it is decided that this should not be its own article, would be to merge it with the article on the larger geographic area. 331dot (talk) 17:07, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * 331dot, merging with the larger geographical area is a good suggestion. I would support that. The development is far from completed, so I'm not sure it is significant enough to be considered a significant city yet. - Anon1-3483579 (talk) 18:04, 9 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep, several reliable sources cited in article. Antrocent (&#9835;&#9836;) 23:56, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
