Napier Road does not appear to be the subject of non-trivial coverage from reliable publications, this is effectively a WP:COATRACK article. Please see the prior discussion from October 2006 at Articles for deletion/Napier Road. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 19:30, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep It's pretty famous, world-wide. "Pakistani sex workers on the Aids front line", Daily Telegraph "the famous Napier Road" Andy Dingley (talk) 23:01, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you Andy Dingley for taking the time to comment. If I may make a distinction, this article makes reference to the district, not the road per se.  Should this article be renamed in that case?  Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 23:31, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm in the UK and have no connection with Pakistan. Napier Road is the only place I could name in Karachi. It's known by that name, not as a longer form as "District". Sources seem to bear out this personal observation. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:11, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete instead and Redirect however if at all needed because there's nothing minimally convincing here, quite clear from everything listed here. (UTC)

 * Rename to Napier Road, Karachi because Napier Road, Singapore. I'll bet Napier, New Zealand has one, too, and that there are others - the Napiers were a remarkable family, they almost make me believe that greatness in hereditary.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:04, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep a simple google establishes that Napier Road, Karachi is a well known red light district. (unlike Dingley, I had not previously heard of it.  I won't ask how he did.)  Linked from Prostitution in Pakistan.  I see no need to call it the Napier Road district, it's a common English usage for districts to be called by the name of a street.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:04, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per E.M Gregory's and Andy Dingley's excellent analysis. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 17:28, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Surprised this is still going.  I thought Andy Dingley's comments settled this. -- do  ncr  am  03:47, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
