List of towns in Howrah[edit]
- List of towns in Howrah (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Only Amta is a town and has a separate page. Belur, Shibpur, Santragachhi, Liluah are neighbourhoods of either Howrah or Bally and not towns by themselves. Buxarah is a neighbourhood of Howrah. This page was created for temporarily moving away 'places of interest' section from the Howrah page. This page is not required any more (see talk). Plus, there is no ref here, a lot of vandalism (addition of useless unsourced claims), and also some of the text here is possibly copy-pasted from some websites.

- Why not merge it back into Howrah as a "places of interest" section, trim it down, and mark it with {{refimprove}}? — LinguistAtLarge • Talk 04:48, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- You probably did not read the above discussion. These are not towns except Amta, which has a separate page. Can you please provide references to substantiate your claim that these are 'encyclopedic and valuable bits'? Currently, the article is unreferenced. Thanks. --GDibyendu (talk) 18:31, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename to List of settlements in Howrah. -- Eastmain (talk) 23:40, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Or possibly List of settlements in Howrah district as some of these places are outside the city of Howrah, but inside Howrah district. This district has high population density and as many as 53 towns (as noted in Census 2001) apart from these neighbourhoods. I think this name change sounds good as settlements can include neighbourhoods also.--GDibyendu (talk) 04:41, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
