Navgachia District (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

  • It isn't a district in anything but policial terms, and there's not much hear to say or to salvage, so I would say delete. --It's-is-not-a-genitive 17:38, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, a police district is still notable. Just to be clear, we're not talking about a random bunch of houses under a police station here, but a section of a district, which is a single unit for tax collection purposes, that is different for law enforcement purposes. Frequently the chief civil servant, the District Magistrate, is considered to be a joint magistrate of both police districts. Whatever, its all very confusing, and left over from 1768 or whenever. Just leave it be, its not a hoax, or non-notable. Hornplease 16:21, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
    What is the estimated population of Navgachia ?
  • Delete. As of now, the article contains only one sentence about Navgachia being a district of Bihar (which is inaccurate). If necessary, a new article about the police district can always be created at Navgachia police district. Since the new article will have to be anyway written from scratch, I don't see why this inaccurate piece of information should be kept. We already have an article on Naugachhia. utcursch | talk 16:44, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. this calls it a "block" of Bhagalpur District: the full list is: Pirpainti, Kahalgoan, Sanhaula, Sabour, Nathnagar, Jagdishpur, Sultanganj, Sahkund, Bihpur, Navgachia, Gopalpur, Kharik, Narayanpur, Gauradih, Ismailpur, Rangrachowk. There are many articles about tiny area's in the US, such as Littletown, Arizona, so if this has a formal name, it sounds appropriate to keep per Hornplease. John Vandenberg 23:52, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
    The point is, it's not a district and the article has just one sentence that says it's a district. If it's a block, a new article can be created at Navgachia police district/Navgachia block. The page should be deleted because "Navgachia District" is an inaccurate title. There is nothing to move or merge -- we already have an article on Naugachhia. utcursch | talk 09:47, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - not a district as defined for other districts in the state. There is so little information that it is almost close to zero so recreating it under a correct name with better information would make more sense. -- Whpq 17:02, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per utcursch. John Vandenberg 08:23, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
