 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge to Raebareli. It's unclear from reading this discussion, how much material should be merged, and what the exact name of the entity should be. I leave that up to whoever does the merge. Leave a redirect behind. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:17, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge to Raebareli seems best, given the limited content and stand-alone notability of the municipal corporation. Dl2000 (talk) 20:04, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Speedy delete — As a hoax, Raebareli doesn't have a municipal corporation! Per the U. P. Municipal Corporation Act, 1959 (U. P. Act 2 of 1959) ( and ), only areas having a population of 3 lakh (300 thousand) or more can have a municipal corporation, even then, the Uttar Pradesh government would've to constitute a corporation through a government notification. Also important to note is that a municipal corporation has: a mayor (politician, directly elected with mostly ceremonial powers) and a municipal commissioner (government career civil servant appointed by the state government), Raebareli lacks both of those. Further, this article seems to be more of a fluff piece than anything. Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 01:13, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * SshibumXZ I think your sole argument can be satisfied if the article is renamed to Municipality ? see this official source and Nagar Palika.-- D Big X ray ᗙ  20:51, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
 * , I know what a nagar palika (city council) is. If the page is moved to something it should be 'Raebareli Municipal Council'. However, Raebareli is not that big a city (the district is big, not the city), so, I don't think its municipal council deserves a separate Wikipedia entry. So, I would recommend redirecting the article to Raebareli per . Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 09:56, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * SshibumXZ There is no need to get offended. My comment was not to teach you what Nagarpalika is, but to inform you and other AfD contributors who see this page, that the entire argument that this is a hoax is invalid. Just because the title may be inappropriate is not the reason enough to call it a hoax and get the article speedily deleted when perfectly valid WP:ATD exists such as rename and merge.-- D Big X ray ᗙ  10:12, 23 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Per, I don't think it's reasonable to call this a hoax, though perhaps someone able to translate the relevant pages can fix the page title. The larger question is whether a standalone page is justified, and at this point I'm not seeing the argument for it: a redirect to Raebareli would seem justified, as there's no properly sourced content in the page at the moment.

 * , if Raebarieli Municipal Corporation were to be moved, it should be to 'Raebareli Municipal Council', as I have already said. Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 09:58, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Why Council and not Municipality ? I hope you do understand that Council is just a subset of the overall body known as Municipality or NagarPalika. Please read more here Municipal governance in India -- D Big X ray ᗙ  12:32, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * , nope, I don't know how you pulled that one, though. Municipal councils are a type of municipality, yes, but they are different from other municipalities in a lot of ways. In a district, there can be a lot of municipalities, viz., municipal corporations, municipal councils, city councils et al., they are all 'municipalities'. Having the article titled as 'municipality' would be ambiguous for reasons aforementioned. Please see: this, this, or the constitution (Part IXA, Article 243Q).
 * Quoting the constitution.
