[edit] Colombo Municipal Council

Colombo Municipal Council (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

No assertion of notability. Maybe someone can check their website for a reason to keep this organization in Wikipedia. I didn't find anything. YechielMan 04:39, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - the municipal council of a countries capital must be notable without having to look for sources. The council has been in existance since the 1860's. a few seconds of Googling shows at least 4 news articles in the last month and almost 15,000 hits on google. The article is awful at the moment nonetheless Peripitus (Talk) 06:04, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Strangely, I agree with Peripitus that the city council of a city as large as Colombo is notable. However, the article consists of a "vision" and "mission statement" and no body of real encyclopedic text. In its present form I cannot condone keeping this since cleaning it up would mean removing almost everything and starting from scratch. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:16, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
    Rewritten now into an ok stub - luckily there was little to remove and the work of minutes to rewrite. - Peripitus (Talk) 08:18, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
    Ah what a difference! This is a brand new article. Keep. Well done! Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:34, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I withdraw my nomination. Nicely done! YechielMan 17:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
