Notability concerns. Laun chba ller 12:28, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious Keep. This is equivalent to a state Legislative district in a state of the USA, or a Legislative Assembly/House of Assembly electoral district in Australia. We cover those electoral districts, and it's natural to do the same for their equivalents in other democracies. This isn't the equivalent to an electoral ward in the UK. This is the Indian equivalent of something like this or this. RomanSpa (talk) 12:52, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep Per RomanSpa.The editor who has created the article deserve a barnstar for creating these important pages.Such pages existed for other states of India but not for Gujarat. S/he has filled the gap. Shyamsunder (talk) 22:52, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar given. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 06:29, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Shyamsunder (talk) 10:22, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge. There are no sources around other than a couple from the government. This topic is just fine sitting alone in a section about divisions of India or whatever. Tezero (talk) 01:24, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to what? India? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:30, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

An easy google found me dozens of references, ranging from governmental sources to newspapers and political pundits. Possibly there's something wrong with your search engine... RomanSpa (talk) 11:20, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep Vidhan Sabha constituencies—the equivalent of U.S. state Congressional districts—are by default notable.—indopug (talk) 15:49, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep, all legislative constituencies are notable per default. There is definately material for expansion, it used to be a double-member constituency, had a bye-election in the 1950s, and again in the 1960s (in which the Swatantra Party suffered a defeat), etc. --Soman (talk) 19:38, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Per default"? What does that even mean? Tezero (talk) 22:14, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Again, it is easy to use Dictionary.com for words you don't understand. In this case "per" is being used in the third sense cited in its Dictionary.com entry: "according to; in accordance with". RomanSpa (talk) 04:21, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. As stated above, all legislative constituencies are inherently notable on WP.--Ddcm8991 (talk) 18:22, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's not stated above. Tezero (talk) 22:14, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
