Petrol prices in Bangalore
I am also nominating the following related pages because of similar content issues:

Wikipedia is not price comparison service. Although there are references, this article will be exceptionally hard to maintain in the future and has no historical data. Contested prod, so bringing here for discussion. Sparthorse (talk) 08:22, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, WP:NOTDIRECTORY. If petrol in Bangalore is "a black hole of subsidies", that can be mentioned in Bangalore. And when I saw this the first thing I thought was "The weather in London". - The Bushranger One ping only 08:34, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete - this is very plainly WP:NOT stuff. Gosh, we could have a page on Rice Prices in Chipping Sodbury! Come to think of it, I'll go and create it now.... Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:18, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * This article is about history of petrol price since when it was around Rs.5/L to Rs.77/L, and price build-up information for those who are interested to know things. It will have chart of all these soon with reference. I think its worth for Bangaloreans, if your Rice price article is worth at your place, then go ahead and create it. If it is useful to someone.Prasannatb (talk) 09:51, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * With all due respect, the point here is that it's not encyclopedic. See WP:NOPRICES. There is an enormous number of imaginable tables of Price for {Commodity x Place}. If we had 10,000 commodities x 10,000 places we'd get 100 million articles just on price histories, dwarfing the 3.7 million articles on everything else on Wikipedia. It makes no sense, as my example was meant to illustrate. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:06, 8 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Plainly not encyclopedic - even if it was it would be impossible to be inclusive and current Porturology (talk) 10:46, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Pardon me, Then please delete Price of petroleum, Gasoline and diesel usage and pricing, Historical fuel prices in India, Gasoline prices. But I don't see any Rice prices article or any other articles of commodities. petrol price worth It. so let it be.Prasannatb (talk) 10:53, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks I have made an AFD for Historical fuel prices in India. Gasoline prices is a redirect to Gasoline and diesel usage and pricing and it and Price of petroleum are well written articles describing the theory and practice of setting fuel prices rather than meaningless lists tracking the price of X in Y. Perhaps they could be merged and I will give this some thought. Porturology (talk) 11:17, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Please go to Gasoline_and_diesel_usage_and_pricing, according to you I think it is also meaningless lists tracking the price of X in Y, so please delete it. What do you mean by well written, my article is just first rough draft, still my article needs more information, charts, photos and references. It will be improved. If you people are not behind for deletion only.Prasannatb (talk) 11:36, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I have started a discussion on replacing the table at Gasoline_and_diesel_usage_and_pricing with a graphic that makes meaningful comparisons possible Porturology (talk) 12:04, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok thanks, anyway I'm giving up the article. I'm happy that few changes will be done because of this discussion.Prasannatb (talk) 12:24, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Already I got the same feedback from Bushranger, No need of saying it again in same discussion. I think you are always busy in editing your user page. Let’s not waste server memory for that.Prasannatb (talk) 12:26, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
