Metropolitan area of Barranquilla

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This topic does not warrant its own article as it cannot possibly cover enough unique information that is not already--and better--covered within the already very comprehensive parent article Barranquilla.  b e s i e g e d       talk 14:02, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article is a stub, certainly, but this is a metropolitan area with a population of 2 million people! "cannot possibly cover enough unique information" is very strong.  Especially considering that this is not just an informal term or something identified by a census, but there's actually a formally recognised metropolitan area with boundaries, a board, and a mayor.

 * Keep. I do not see why we should delete an article on an administrative unit on the basis that one of the cities making part of the unit already has a comprehensive article.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:57, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

 * RESCINDED I wasn't aware metro areas warrant their own articles, until I did further checks. My mistake, I rescind my deletion nomination. (not sure if I should remove the tags on the article or not).  b e s i e g e d       talk 14:38, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem, I will do the formalities, thanks.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:08, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
