List of Muslim majority cities in India

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:OR, factual incorrect (urban areas are not the same as cities), speculation The Banner talk 22:30, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:OR does not make for good articles. This list is not notable as a group as required by WP:LISTN. - MrX 00:40, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Questions: @The Banner: So you are basically saying is that the present content of the topic is wrong but you aren't saying anything on whether a topic as this should have a article on Wikipedia or not. @MrX: What notability criteria are you exactly pointing at which the current article fails? §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 13:56, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
 * From my European point of view the notability of the list is at least doubtful. I don't see the use of categorizing people or cities on something as religion. But the main thing was that the present article was and is WP:OR (the source is that bad that you have some interpretation to do) and it was clear speculation and a Crystal bol.

 * Delete. Based on the one available source provided for this article the content certainly appears to meet the criteria for being a synthesis at this point, in taking regional population data and combining it with a map of cities, even if the figures are accurate.

 * Keep. It sure is notable.--Kazemita1 (talk) 18:11, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. The overall composition of a significant center of population is clearly a notable property. As long as a source is listed with each assertion, I see no grounds for considering this original research or synthesis. While personally I would consider the compilation of such lists a bit divisive and therefore not a worthwhile or respectable occupation, if someone else wants to keep a well-cited list then I don't see any Wikipedia policy that should prohibit them from doing it here, in the open. prat (talk) 04:13, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete The one source i WP:PRIMARY and the interpretation of that source is WP:OR. We have no idea how valid that data is (definition of urban area, whether census data is being correctly interpreted, etc. etc.). --regentspark (comment) 14:08, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Are we going to keep record of cities as well now? When they can be simply mentioned in States page? Just make a photo or something, and insert it to Islam in India, if you want to highlight cities. Nothing else can be done. Bladesmulti (talk) 13:09, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
