Ramkrishna Nagar

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable topic, no refs and internal inconsistency. Article says the township is near Karimganj. However, the infobox appears to imply that it is located in Karimganj. Also contains coverage of very trivial information. Forty two  Thanks for all the fish! 13:41, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Verifiable town; the existence of Ramkrishna Nagar is referred to here (both as a district and a village) and in this list of Village Panchayat names in Assan. As a verifiable place, it should be kept per the general approach to such settlements. By the way, there's no internal inconsistancy; it's located within Karimganj district but is 60 km from Karimganj, which is a different entity.

 * Keep per our usual practice with verifiable settlements. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:05, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - There's no such thing as a non notable town. --Oakshade (talk) 20:18, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep As a real town, it is inherently notable. Edward321 (talk) 00:24, 24 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment You people seem to be confusing this village for a town. The link provided by TheCatalyst31 says that it has a panchayat. Towns don't have panchayat in India, villages do. Also it would be great if you could read the article. :) At present, there are no references at all. One link (to a government website) does not constitute significant coverage. Plus, I have serious issues with the content of the article (but that I guess can be easily rectified).  Forty two  Thanks for all the fish!  01:14, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Whether this is a town or village is immaterial. Consensus, as can be seen from many AfD discussions over the years, is that we should keep articles on verified settlements of any size. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:35, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Towns do have panchayats in at least some parts of India. (I live in one :-)). --Sodabottle (talk) 14:48, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The consensus is valid only if backed by policy, and to be able to do so you need to find non-trivial coverage in media. One link to a government site is hardly significant coverage. If you would continue to hold that the subject is notable, please make sure the statements have at least some refs. And please, can we please remove the last paragraph.Face-crying.svg
 * @Sodabottle: Thank you for the link about Town Panchayats. I was not aware of this. But they are for rural areas too (for their transition to urban areas) according to that site itself. I am from India too, I suspect no other state has adopted this. Have they? Specifically, do rural areas in Assam (even more specifically, Ramkrishna Nagar) have a Town Panchayat? If the Panchayat in Ramkrishna Nagar was a Town Panchayat, wouldn't it be called so?-- Forty two  Thanks for all the fish!  20:08, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but you've got that the wrong way round. Policy is valid only if backed by consensus. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:16, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Policies reflect a much wider consensus than an AfD discussion does it not? When I said consensus, I meant consensus reached at in the AfDs you were citing. There is obviously no valid argument in saying that these AfD or any of them reflect much wider consensus than say, WP:Notability.-- Forty two  Thanks for all the fish!  20:32, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
