List of towns in Howrah

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Only Amta is a town and has a separate page. Belur, Shibpur, Santragachhi, Liluah are neighbourhoods of either Howrah or Bally and not towns by themselves. Buxarah is a neighbourhood of Howrah. This page was created for temporarily moving away 'places of interest' section from the Howrah page. This page is not required any more (see talk). Plus, there is no ref here, a lot of vandalism (addition of useless unsourced claims), and also some of the text here is possibly copy-pasted from some websites.

 * Why not merge it back into Howrah as a "places of interest" section, trim it down, and mark it with refimprove? &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  04:48, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Because these are not towns and not all are located in Howrah. Whatever should be mentioned is already mentioned there with ref. Also, don't need to merge unsourced text there. And, other than Buxarah, all have their own pages.--GDibyendu (talk) 05:08, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, unlikely search term, sounds like there is no need to merge. Nerfari (talk) 22:26, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Needs specific sources, but I see nothing wrong with t it otherwise.DGG (talk) 08:17, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Main thing which is wrong is that these are not towns.--GDibyendu (talk) 08:21, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * evidence? DGG (talk) 01:35, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Check here for List of towns in Howrah district, as noted in census 2001. Search for 'Haora'. Have you found any evidence to prove that the towns listed in the article are actually towns? The article is still unsourced.--GDibyendu (talk) 13:54, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge & Delete Merge the important bits that are worth keeping and delete the rest --Anti I A (talk) 11:55, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge should happen only if sources are found. Unreferenced text should not be merged.--GDibyendu (talk) 13:47, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge No reason to lose encyclopedic and valuable bits. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:17, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * You probably did not read the above discussion. These are not towns except Amta, which has a separate page. Can you please provide references to substantiate your claim that these are 'encyclopedic and valuable bits'? Currently, the article is unreferenced. Thanks. --GDibyendu (talk) 18:31, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Rename to List of settlements in Howrah. -- Eastmain (talk) 23:40, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Or possibly List of settlements in Howrah district as some of these places are outside the city of Howrah, but inside Howrah district. This district has high population density and as many as 53 towns (as noted in Census 2001) apart from these neighbourhoods. I think this name change sounds good as settlements can include neighbourhoods also.--GDibyendu (talk) 04:41, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
