 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The information in this article is already at Salem metropolitan area (India) but the creator objects to a redirect there so bringing here for consensus. Mccapra (talk) 07:41, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Organisms, India,  and Tamil Nadu. Mccapra (talk) 07:41, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Why was this del sorted as "organisms"? LibStar (talk) 02:35, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * probably just a misclick for the desired Organizations, which I've now added. cc @Mccapra Star   Mississippi  14:15, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose: Salem metropolitan area (India) is a jurisdiction or the areas which is officially recognised or notified as Salem metropolitan area. Meanwhile, Salem Urban Development Authority is a seperate Authority or Body that governs the area. For instance, you can also refer the articles, Chennai metropolitan area & Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority for Greater Chennai, Coimbatore metropolitan area & Coimbatore Urban Development Authority for Coimbatore, Hyderabad Metropolitan Region & Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority for Hyderabad.

So, kindly go through it, Metropolitan Area & Metropolitan Development Authority is different from each other.

 * Yes they are different from each other, but that does not mean that we need a separate article about each one. The information about this topic is already included in the article about the metropolitan area, so this is a WP:CFORK. Mccapra (talk) 09:02, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I, thought, Same were followed in the articles that, I have mentioned above. In those articles too, contains more or less same informations. May I, know, is there any rules for such articles for existing, meanwhile, not for this one. Ungal Naan2.0 (talk) 14:49, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The rule is we don’t fork content, so if information is already in one article we don’t recreate it in another. The only reason to split info out from an existing article is to significantly expand it, which this one doesn’t. Otherwise we just create a redirect so anyone searching for information finds it easily. Mccapra (talk) 18:33, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * So, instead of nominating for deletion, you can tag the article as "need improvement". That may help to develop articles with additional informations. Visitors also can add some information with thier knowledge. But, still, I can't understand, what additional contents you had seen in the articles like Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority and Chennai Metropolitan Area. Can you explain is there any such special rules. Ungal Naan2.0 (talk) 14:17, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: Just another Municipal Development Authority.
 * There are 100 municipal corporations, 2100 Nagar Panchayats, and 1500 municipal councils in India1

 * Ofcourse, 100 Municipal Corporation, 2100 Nagar Panchayats and 1500 municipal councils. But here, it is not Municipal Corporation or Nagar Panchayat or Municipal Council. It is Urban Development Authority. Not all those you have mentioned will not have such authority. Wikipedia may offers visitors regarding specific topics. So, this article may exist, while others are existing. Ungal Naan2.0 (talk) 14:52, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:NCORP, and without going into FALLACY, here are a few:
 * Varanasi Development Authority, Varanasi Uttar Pradesh
 * Kanpur Development Authority
 * Ghaziabad Development Authority
 * Raipur Development Authority
 * Just go to Google, and search * Development Authority, and you will get 100s of them. Thanks, User4edits (talk) 05:15, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * So what, Why can't create articles for them ? Wikipedia has articles for all the 1000s of cities wright ? So, is there any problem with articles for Development Authorities ? Ungal Naan2.0 (talk) 08:38, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Hello, Star Mississippi,
 * Hope you are doing good.
 * Actually, I haven't got answered for my previous questions for my earlier defence. Kindly go through it, and make way for retain this article. Ungal Naan2.0 (talk) 06:50, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * That is not the role of an administrator at AfD, and I don't have the subhect matter interest to act as an editor here. However the onus is on you who wants to retain it to find WP:CORP level sourcing, not anyone else. Star   Mississippi  14:12, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Strong delete. Troublingly, I can't find a single source which even mentions the existence of this, with the English or Tamil name (see this search), so clear violation of WP:NGO and WP:V. The section in the metropalitan area article also only cites sources about the passage of some law which doesn't mention the existence of this. Mach61 (talk) 03:42, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * For you kind notice. Salem Urban Development Authority is a newly formed adhoc body. Ungal Naan2.0 (talk) 15:50, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Ungal Naan2.0 That gives even more reason to delete the article Mach61 (talk) 15:59, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * agree LibStar (talk) 04:06, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete has existed for over a year but doesn't get any gnews hits. Fails WP:ORG. LibStar (talk) 02:34, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
