Salem Local Planning Authority

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Deprodded without improvement by a wikihound who has been asked to stop, but can't seem to help themselves. Fails WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 02:56, 15 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. The references are all either dead links, duplicate links to the same government website, or to otherwise questionable at best sources. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 03:38, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm willing to give the creator and other editors a chance to improve the article and demonstrate notability, per the request of User:Ram Dhaneesh. The Times of India sources recently added appear to be acceptable references to me. I also worry we may be biased towards deletion as most editors on EN Wikipedia do not live in India. Weak Keep for now. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 00:28, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the list of India-related deletion discussions.  CAPTAIN RAJU (T) 04:18, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment I was patrolling User:DumbBOT/ProdSummary. Please at least ping me if you're throwing accusations around. Thanks NemesisAT (talk) 06:58, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , not an accusation, simple statement of fact. You've had no interest in this particular article until I prodded it. This happens frequently, and I've asked you to stop.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:26, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I already said I found this article via a bot-generated log. If using these is against the rules, why are they generated? Again, I don't think I'm doing anything against Wikipedia rules, so please stop suggesting that I am. Thank you. NemesisAT (talk) 16:30, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , the tool that you use to wikihound me is irrelevant. Again, please stop.  Onel 5969  TT me 22:39, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * If, by "wikihound" you mean "happen to edit a page that you edited previously" then no, I don't think that's a fair request. Sorry. NemesisAT (talk) 22:52, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , no I mean wikihound. And what's not "fair" is wikihounding. Again, please stop.  Onel 5969  TT me 00:14, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I will continue to edit Wikipedia. If I happen to edit a page that you edited in the past then sorry, but you'll have to live with it. You are after all a new page patroller so naturally edit a very large amount of pages. Now let's leave this and please stop making vague accusations without even pinging me. NemesisAT (talk) 05:25, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , if you continue to Wikihound me. I will be forced to take further action. Which I really don't want to do. Would much prefer you simply desist.  No one has to live with wikihounding.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:05, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I will continue exactly as I am now because there is nothing wrong with patrolling new redirects, PRODs, and deletion discussions. This is not wikihounding. Stop with the threats please. NemesisAT (talk) 14:40, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Kind Information, I improved the article by providing more reliable sources, even I think for the government organization related Articles, Sources from the respective organization are enough, that's why I cited the sources only from the government website, but now the article is fully cited with reliable sources like from Times of India, Dinakaran, Dinamani, etc ., Hope This article will remain.

 * Delete, fails WP:GNG. The Tamil Nadu state in India has alone more than 10 cities and each cities have numerous directorates. The Directorate of Town and Country Planning for Tamil Nadu might be notable but their branches for each cities are clearly not notable and at the most they belong as a subheading., please go through WP:N before creating articles. If possible, other such articles created by the user like Madurai Local Planning Authority, Tiruchirappalli Local Planning Authority, should also be deleted along with this AfD for the same reason.SUN EYE 1 14:37, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Local planning authority. Insufficient independent sourcing to demonstrate notability for a standalone article. TimTempleton <sup style="color:#800080">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  19:15, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

<div class="xfd_relist" style="border-top: 1px solid #AAA; border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA; padding: 0px 25px;"> Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Please don't delete this article and not merge in Local planning authority per Timtempleton. Because the particular article about local planning authorities in UK, if want redirect, please give me a chance to create Article Directorate of Town and Country Planning as per User:Suneye1. Thank you!  Dhaneesh  💙  Ram  16:12, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Ram Dhaneesh, you can create it and redirect this name to it later.-  SUN EYE 1  07:27, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  12:52, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
 * REDIRECTED. Salem Local Planning Authority is redirected to Directorate of Town and Country Planning, Thank you Dhaneesh  💙  Ram  08:39, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. The nominator's pique at having a PROD declined is not a valid reason for deletion, and there's really no substantive discussion here. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.  Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong! (talk) 23:26, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Salem Local Planning Authority is a planning agency for the city, so it may useful for visitors, no valid reason for deletion. I2karankiran (talk) 15:24, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. You may want to see WP:ITSUSEFUL. -- Ab207 (talk) 15:40, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Directorate of Town and Country Planning, its parent orgnaization. It's unclear whether this topic meets GNG, regardless the target article already duplicates the content present here and this topic can easily be covered there (per WP:NOPAGE). Articles for deletion/Tiruchirappalli Local Planning Authority resulted in a similar outcome. -- Ab207 (talk) 15:39, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Directorate of Town and Country Planning, as per others. MrsSnoozyTurtle 01:27, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
