• Redirect to Orakzai Agency. This article has little use.EJF (talk) 18:26, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
• Strongly Delete. It has little relevance. If anything at all, redirect as EFJ said. Shapiros10 (talk) 00:37, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete - no context provided. -- Mark Chovain 02:57, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per Shapiros10. Redirect if desired. --On the other side ^Contribs|@ 04:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. Hate to melt the snow, but this appears to be a constituency in the National Assembly of Pakistan.[1] As such it would seem automatically notable. --Dhartung | Talk 05:27, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
• I'm sorry Dhartung, but we should just redirect to the better article. Shapiros10 (talk) 13:22, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. A geographic area which just has to be cleaned up and wikified. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 16:44, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect to Orakzai Agency, the better article! Shapiros10 (talk) 21:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. Would we delete an article on a US congressional district? A UK parliamentary constituency? Of course not. So why treat this differently? Phil Bridger (talk) 11:43, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect to a better article with more information. It's not deleting an article on a section of Pakistan, we're deleting the content of this page and redirecting to the article with more information. Shapiros10 (talk) 18:20, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - Perhaps WP:POKEMON applies. This is a district for the primary national legislative body in a major heavily populated country. As mentioned above, this is equivalent to any United States congressional district which consensus have long considered notable. --Oakshade (talk) 22:21, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect to Orakzai_Agency#Upper_Orakzai. The main content is there. This keeps the material safe and allows it to grow in context until there is enough to break it out into a standalone article in WP:Summary style. It's a win win situation. Most of these merge situations should be merged directly rather than being brought here to AfD. If the merge is challenged, then that is the time for a wider discussion.
