Hansi Bar Association

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable association. Virtually no search results. Also a possible COI with the author ChunnuBhai (talk) 01:15, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability. Poor search results point to non-notability and so does the article itself. Knox490 (talk) 01:31, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Note: State bar associations in the United States are inherently notable. If bar associations in states of India function along the same lines (where membership is a prerequisite to the practice of law), then this should be kept and improved. At the very least, we should have an article on how state bar associations do work in India, into which we could merge this if needed. bd2412  T 02:39, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete I think User:BD2412's arguments about state bar associations may be correct, and would mean state bar associations in India may be inherently notable just as they are in the US. However, as far as I can work out, this is not actually a state bar association for the state of Haryana, it is a bar association for the city of Hansi. I think city bar associations aren't inherently notable. Some of course are, e.g. New York City Bar Association, but what is true for New York City will not be true for many smaller cities in the US. In the same way, Hansi is not a particularly major Indian city, so its bar association probably isn't notable, although the case may be made if there is sufficient coverage in reliable sources, but I don't see that coverage here.
