Saddar (Hyderabad)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There are not enough reliable sources to back up this page. Since it is about an area in a city, it may be included in the city article as a section. The article is also a stub and no efforts have been seen to improve it. Yashovardhan (talk) 18:04, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Could not find reliable sources establishing notability. I don't think this is appropriate even as a section of Hyderabad, Sindh. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 01:12, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - Saddar is a commonly referred to neighborhood in google news and google books searches (also see: Saddar bazar). I don't know what it means to be legally recognized in the sense of WP:NGEO, but it is referred to commonly in newspapers. In particular, here is a 2005 article in dawn which mentions a proposal to merge the union councils of Saddar and Civil Lines. This implies Saddar marks a intra-city electoral district, which seems to satisfy NGEO. I could be wrong, of course. Smmurphy^(Talk) 22:27, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - Saddar Town is one of localities/neighborhoods in Hyderabad, Sindh governed by the Hyderabad Cantonment. See: DAWN, Express Tribune, Express Tribune & The News International. mfarazbaig —Preceding undated comment added 22:55, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This article should be kept and improved; maybe use the article format for Sunset, Vancouver district/neighborhood or Nashik district. The map is excellent work. --Oskinet (talk) 03:30, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect I know I'm commenting on my own nomination. I'd suggest improving the article and adding reliable sources. Until then, this article could be redirected to Hyderabad itself. Later, when this is developed enough, the redirect could be removed Yashovardhan (talk) 04:20, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, MBisanz ^talk 00:53, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Is a recognized town. Article improvement, which even the nom advocates, is a matter of just that - article improvement, not deletion. --Oakshade (talk) 01:53, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
