 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A metropolitan region is different from Urban agglomeration. The article references do not provide any official reference which states the existance of metropolitan region. Also, pinging as the user was involved in a discussion related to metropolitan areas at Talk:List_of_metropolitan_areas_in_India.--  Vin09 &thinsp; (talk)   11:57, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Kollam Metropolitan Area also doesn't have any external references other than census 2011 to support it as a Metropolitan area but that page exists, Same goes to Kochi and Thrissur. Imahesh3847 (talk) 13:26, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
