Functionally unsourced, and failed a WP:BEFORE search. Was already draftified and then moved back. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 05:22, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, my comments about Second Grade Municipalitie apply equally; (1) It would be better to cover this minor administrative detail at Tamil Nadu#Adminsitration and politics. I'd suggest a merge to there except that nothing in the current article is sourced and some of it is the sort of stuff that is potentially dependent on when the article was written - and I'm not sure the subject is important enough to merge without messing up the balance of the target article. (2) In any case, this sort of generic title, attached to an article covering one state of one country, is never appropriate. It may well be that other states and countries have first/second grade municipalities too, so the article would have to be moved to First grade municipality (Tamil Nadu) were it kept. For this reason, a redirect would also be inappropriate. Elemimele (talk) 11:46, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:SIGCOV. I couldn't find any secondary sources covering this topic. The only sourcing for this kind of content is within WP:PRIMARY materials that I can find. Fundamentally, I think this fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY. This is an entirely bureaucratic designation that appears to only be utilized within one of India's 36 states. While it may be relevant to governance in India for people working in that field in Tamil Nadu, it doesn't appear to encyclopedic.4meter4 (talk) 02:36, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
