 * Delete, given current status of article does not establish notability of topic as a whole, and, that, in contrast to say List of district police stations in Hong Kong, none of the listed police stations has any indication of individual notability. The deletion-nominated list is just sourced to http://www.jkpolice.gov.in/Police-Stations, is effectively a copy of that directory, and the Wikipedia list doesn't add any value given that is already public.  And it is presumably updated!


 * By the way for Hong Kong there is also a list of historic police stations. It would be perhaps better to have one combined list of notable current and historic ones. To the creating editor:  if there were a decent number of separate articles about individual police stations in an area, then it would be non-controversial to create a list of them plus others assessed to be notable (and having footnotes sort of establishing that) but not having articles.  Currently Ramgopalpet Police Station (not in Jammu and Kashmir) is the only individual police station in the entire Category:Police stations in India.  Certainly there must be more, India-wide, especially about historic ones, either already having articles (perhaps being heritage structures) or being topics where articles could be created.  Do some of that, then start List of police stations in India.  Contact me for help if interested. --Doncram (talk) 16:02, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Update: I started worldwide List of police stations and redirected "List of police stations in India" to the section there on India. With just the one known article so far. The world-wide list is valid, will be kept to only individually notable police stations having articles (bluelinks) or ones with supporting references establishing their list-item notability (either redlinks calling for articles to be created, or "blacklinks" not calling that way). I would merge the nominated list-article to there if it had any content to merge, but it does not, so "Delete" is still appropriate IMHO. --Doncram (talk) 18:33, 4 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete, the topic does not establish notability Alex-h (talk) 10:44, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:LIST and WP:MILL. I see that an article could be made about the recent crackdown, but this isn't it. Bearian (talk) 19:17, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
