Jayanta Nath: Hasnabad and Falta deleted and restored. Shuvendu: I was new, didnt know that villages cannot be included in bnwp. Hasnabad was deleted as it was village. Defined census town. Jayanta: Hasnabad is a village? Anyway, there is obvious importance. Please contact me if any help needed, ping me in talk page. I think, every discussion should be on-wiki. Someone should start policy discussion on Wikipedia. Rajeeb: What is the rule of deletion? Jayanta: The community decided to delete the article, that doesnt mean the article cant be written. Rajeeb: If majority of article is contributed by many other efitors, shall it be deleted? Jayanta: It doesnt matter, if you have to pass according to the policy Jayanta: I and Tarun was searching on libraries in Kolkata and Howrah Bantra Library. What is the status of articles of all metro in bnwp? Shuvendu: Line 1 is completed and Line 2 is completed, others are not done. Jayanta: As a community, we should focus on West Bengal topics first.
