List of places in Karachi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This list appears to be vague and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. It is essentially an unsourced directory of places in and around the city of Karachi. Recommending deletion as Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 22:01, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment. "Places" is a term we use throughout our categories and lists, as in Category:Lists of places by country, and such a list is easily limited to notable entries so as to make it discriminate. "Unsourced" is not a problem; only unverifiable is. And whether a notable place is or isn't "in Karachi" should certainly be verifiable. The only question I see is whether this would be better presented as a subsection in a Pakistan-wide list, or as a list of lists of different kinds of places in Karachi, or just cleaned up as is. postdlf (talk) 18:20, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This list might make an excellent category. As a list, it's no bueno. J♯m (talk &#124; contribs) 07:41, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - "Places in [a major city]" is a totally, totally inappropriate topic for a list. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 16:06, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
 * To clarify, I have no objection to a list of a specific type of places, including lists of populated places, but "places" is crazy. I'm startled to see that there are a number of other such ill-defined extremely broad lists around, and not sure what next steps should be... &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 16:10, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
