Notability-Scouting WikiProject does not support articles for any entity smaller than council level. There is nothing of value to merge into the council article-basically a list of names that will change yearly. For some reason the last afd was non-admin closed as, mysteriously, "no consensus", when in fact nothing was leaning toward keep.

 * Strong delete. After the non-admin closure, which suggested I gave no reason for deletion, when I supported the arguments of the nominator, as an admin I am tempted to just speedy delete this article. As Kintetsubuffalo says, we have no articles below council level in the USA or at similar levels in countries such as the UK and Australia which I know more about. The reason is clear - there are no independent sources and that is the case here. The two reference sources are identical to the two external links, so can not be independent. It will always be very difficult to satisfy our guidelines for notability for these type of articles and this article does not even start to do so. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  09:59, 26 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete fails WP:ORG and WP:GNG. Also a blatant case of WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Nor is this the type of "district" that would satisfy WP:GEOLAND. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:13, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. we don't normally keep local branches of national organizations--and this isn't even a local branch, but a sub-branch.  DGG ( talk ) 02:47, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
