The result was keep. There is definitely consensus that it should not be deleted, the arguments are for keep and for merge. I suggest that the merge discussion should be started by the merge proponents on the talk page to determine whether there is consensus for merge.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:20, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

La Huacana, La Huacana

This place is not independently notable from La Huacana Municipality per WP:NOTINHERITED. This edit reverted the article to a non-redirect, while this one removed the prod tag from the article. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 16:53, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per WP:GEOLAND, a town of 8000 people is so clearly notable that the nomination is absurd. As for differentiating between a town and the municipality of which it's a seat - we do that all over Wikipedia. For but one of many examples, take a look at List_of_municipalities_in_the_Free_State where set out are all the municipalities and their seats each with separate articles, looking very much like Municipalities of Michoacán where someone is bothering to fill up the redlinks.

 * Merge, Redirect and rename to simply La Huacana. It would seem that pretty much all municipalities in Mexico are named after their main settlement and in most cases we don't have separate articles for each one. Neither do we do this for other countries which are divided into municipalities/communes/parishes named after their main settlement (which is a lot of them, including such minor countries as Britain and France). It is important to distinguish minor sub-divisions like these, where almost all the population lives in the main settlement and the remaining area is really just a rural area with maybe a couple of small hamlets, from other far more important sub-divisions (like those in South Africa cited above) that comprise a lot more than that and may well contain other significant settlements. Just because something has the same name (i.e. municipality) doesn't mean it equates to the same thing. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:35, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep I might agree with a merge if it was the case that almost all the population lives in the main settlement and the remaining area is really just a rural area with maybe a couple of small hamlets: but here the town has a population about 8,000 and the municipality about 32,000, and Ref 2 in the town article confirms that six other significant populated places lie within the municipality. The town article needs to be moved to just La Huacana, and content needs to be swapped around between the two articles; but merging the two would be something like merging Nottinghamshire with Nottingham Noyster (talk),  16:06, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge as either is acceptable but if it is not independently notable, the certainly merge. SwisterTwister   talk  04:07, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
