The result was redirect to Gwalior. I'm not an expert on the various R from templates. If somebody wants to add R from misnomer, that's fine with me. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:33, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Gwalior Metropolitan Region

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't exist (other than every town has a notional commuter belt). The 2011 census lists Gwalior Urban Region which is just Gwalior+Morar. Most of this article is copied from Gwalior. Batternut (talk) 01:28, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
 * comment there is no development authority for this region as other metros have (eg Kolkata, Mumbai), and no official stats for this area. See also Template:Gwalior Metropolitan Region. Batternut (talk) 01:44, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: It was pointed out to me that a copyvio-within-Wikipedia is not a G12 speedy candidate. My apologies are extended and I'm relisting this to restart the discussion. Note to future admins: This is NOT one of the 'two relistings' that are usually considered proper for a not-yet-consensused discussion, but a procedural one.

 * I have no strong opinions here, but the name "metropolitan region" doesn't appear to be a misnomer, it's for example here alongside "urban agglomeration". I don't know if this generally merits a standalone article (likely at a different title), but with the present state of the article and the large duplication with Gwalior, I think it's best to redirect it to Gwalior. – Uanfala 11:55, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Re the "metropolitan region" link above - although census2011.co.in mentions "metropolitan region" the census itself only counted and spoke of urban agglomerations (UAs), eg see the Gwalior district census handbook. Googling finds no gov.in mention of either "Gwalior Metropolitan region" or "Gwalior Metropolitan area". Batternut (talk) 11:25, 13 November 2017 (UTC)


 * comments Content fork applies, re duplication between it and Gwalior. The only reliable information specific to the metro area is the population (fictitious in the metro article, correct in Gwalior). Batternut (talk) 11:22, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * What do you think about redirecting to Gwalior then? I think this is fairly straightforward, and the only question is whether the redirect should be marked up as R from misnomer or not. – Uanfala 18:05, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'd support (as proposer) a redirect Gwalior. I don't think I'd bother about tagging as a misnomer (but might be persuaded). Batternut (talk) 20:18, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Gwalior as per above. No opinion on the redirect template tags. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 20:41, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Gwalior sounds reasonable. - The Bushranger One ping only 04:54, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
