The Springs, Islamabad

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD removed without explanation. The rationale was "Non-notable residential development. Fails WP:N". I believe that rationale could be correct. :) · Salvidrim!  ·  &#9993;  17:47, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Delete: If we had an article for every neighborhood in every city it would be a clusterfuck. This is not notable nor does it have any good sources. My judgement is delete. Newsjunky12 (Talk) 5:56, May 20, 2013 (UTC)]

Let it be. The Springs maybe a new development but it is rather fairly well-known amongst those who know a thing or two about Islamabad's realty market. The developer of the development has a website, which is rather rare in Pakistan, so as far as the online notability goes, any objection on this locality is beyond my comprehension.

 * Strong delete per WP:ADVERT. This is clearly an attempt by someone associated with the devlopment as seen above. The only sources are the website for the developer and a commercial listing. Violates the above mentioned guideline in addition to a hardcore fail of WP:GNG. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:55, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Even if we assume good faith that it's not an WP:ADVERT, it should still be deleted as per Newsjunky12's reasons. 1292simon (talk) 13:50, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Don't delete. The sole purpose of Wiki is to educate. Real estate is a tricky business in Pakistan where a lot of illegal developments rip people off their money simply because people do not know whether or not the project is approved by a governing body. In this case, I am researching and I plan to create more pages on legitimate housing societies just so people know what the reliable projects are. The developer of the page in question has invested heavily around the Islamabad-Rawalpindi area on hoardings and billboards and therefore is becoming increasingly well known. I created the page in good faith and hope to educate people on such subjects. SZulfiqar (Talk) 11:53 AM, May 27, 2013 (PST)]
