Strong Keep Category is not enough. — Masum Ibn Musa  ^Conversation 14:01, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• "Not enough" to do what? What
  WP:GEOLAND keeps them from being deleted, but perhaps they should all be merged to lists like this. Then the list would serve a purpose, that of a gazetteer. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:11, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply

• Delete per nomination as well Sahaib (talk) 20:03, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: A note if this is closed as delete: the other union councils of Bangladesh, which can be found in in this category, should also be deleted. Curbon7 (talk) 21:14, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep- Yes, Wikipedia is not a directory per
  WP:DIRECTORY but does this policy cover this article? There are seven items listed on Wikipedia is not a directory. They are Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics, Genealogical entries, Directories, directory entries, electronic program guides, or resources for conducting business, Sales catalogues, Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations, and Simple listings. None of these applies to this particular article. This article needs to be improved but I do not see a good rationale for deletion. Take List of counties in Utah, which can be represented by a category, is a well-written article about a similar topic. Since most of the union councils in Bangladesh do not have articles but do qualify for articles; lists such as this one are a great resource and very useful for someone seeking information and trying to create articles on unions of Bangladesh.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 08:47, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply

 Comment: In List of counties in Utah, we get a brief view. But in the mentioned article we only find some names only. It would be fine, if there is more information along with the names.--Rocky Masum (talk) 10:17, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That is neither here nor there; the question is whether the article is notable. Deletion is not for improvements.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 14:24, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - clearly legit article subject. Listing can be improved, with maps etc. --Soman (talk) 13:04, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• delete per nom —MdsShakil (talk) 18:27, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as per nomination. MrsSnoozyTurtle 11:39, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I can’t see any policy-based rationale for deletion. Mccapra (talk) 07:23, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
