List of police stations in Karachi
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A recent previous attempt to speedy for G11 plus NOTDIR and NOTSPAM was declined, same nominator put it up for AFD but didn't do it right. He then realized it had been deleted before and might qualify for G4. I removed that on the grounds that the 1st nomination could easily have gone "no consensus." That, plus the fact that this new version had been up for months, indicates consensus might have changed. Therefore, I'm putting it up for discussion rather than letting the G4 stand. If this version and the old version are substantially identical, I have no objections to a speedy-delete G4 closure, but I would prefer to wait 24 hours to see if consensus has indeed changed before G4'ing it. Might as well avoid the drama of a DRV.
 * Delete per NOTDIR, NOTSPAM, not encyclopedic. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  03:08, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete because of WP:NOTDIR. this creates a precedent, do we start creating articles for other cities. Michellecrisp (talk) 03:51, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a directory. Edison (talk) 04:40, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as previously deleted content. While consensus was not clear in the previous AfD, the closing administrators decision was soundly grounded in policy - WP:NOTDIR. Usrnme h8er (talk) 12:23, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I just want to say that the reason why i added this article is to provide information about the town-wise location of police stations in Karachi. yet it does not contain the contact numbers of the specific police stations. So how does it come under the classification of directory? nomi887 (talk) 12:47, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry for ignoring the question about not being a directory, as that is less of a concern to me than the fact that this information is unencyclopedic. Below the national level of any country, very few police departments would warrant such a list, and even at the national level, few would.  At best, you could add a summary of the content to Karachi or one or more of the articles linked there.  By summary, I mean just that:  A count of the # of stations in each town.  By and large, the names of the stations are wholly unencyclopedic.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  16:54, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
