Nagpur is notable. The only concern I have is whether "localities" gives us useful inclusion criteria or is indiscriminate. Are these what we'd call in the western world "neighborhoods", is there some formal or legal definition of "locality" applicable here, or is this "any named place within the boundaries of Nagpur"? postdlf (talk) 17:55, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Locality in this context is same as neighborhoods. Fauzan^{✆ talk} _{✉ email} 17:20, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep For smaller cities, most neighbourhood might not meet the WP:NOTABILITY criteria, so we can have an article enlisting the neighbourhoods and creating redirects from those neighbourhood articles to this. Amartyabag ^TALK2ME 18:04, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~: The article cites 4 references:
Ref 1: No problem with notability, cites population of Nagpur.
Ref 2: Rotted/spam link.
Ref 3: No mention of city name/locality.
Ref 4: Only mentions city name.
No citation against all 20 localities mentioned in article. Fauzan^{✆ talk} _{✉ email} 09:07, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I struck your "delete" !vote as duplicative of your nomination. On your comment itself, read WP:BEFORE. We do not delete articles based only on their current state, but rather their potential. And WP:V requires content be verifiable. postdlf (talk) 13:03, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, a city with a population over 2.4 million is bound to have some distinct localities/neighborhoods that we should expect coverage of in the encyclopedia, and we even have separate articles on at least two of them. After waiting quite a bit of time, no valid arguments for deletion have been raised, and no one has challenged whether these are verifiable. Satisfies WP:LISTPURP both as a navigational index of the localities that merit articles, and as an informational list WP:SPLIT from the parent Nagpur article. postdlf (talk) 18:41, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
