What brought this page to my attention was the reference to BOOKS LLC, infamous re-publisher of Wikipedia content. The strange referencing (all 3 'sources' crammed into one citation) was another red flag. Right Bank Essequibo NDC is simply not:

"Right Bank Essequibo" isn't in the Neighbourhood Councils of Guyana article- NOR on Guyana's ministry website for NDRs or Guyana's Ministry of Statistics 2002 NDC Data (5th down from Census 2002, pdf download).

As with any important waterway, there will be various regional titles, such as this PAHO report that refers to "Right Bank Essequibo" as a "Region" of District 10. But any area can be a 'region'- it is not a Neighborhood Democratic Council. Here is another government document that uses "Right Bank Essequibo" to describe it like a road. No sources indicate this is a historic title.

The ultimate nail in the coffin should be the indef of the article's creator. It's one thing to love data, but one must also respect the data.

Deletion is preferable to merging/redirecting because these discrepancies indicate that the information used to make this was warped or garbled from poor sourcing, misunderstanding political jurisdictions, or some other confusion. Estheim (talk) 20:07, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closer for soft deletion: This nomination has had limited participation and falls within the standards set for lack of quorum. There are no previous AfD discussions, undeletions, or current redirects and no previous PRODs have been located. This nomination may be eligible for soft deletion at the end of its 7-day listing. --Cewbot (talk) 00:02, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
