Entirely unsourced piece of soapboxing. Perhaps there's an interesting history here that deserves a WP article, but in that case WP:NUKEANDPAVE applies. QVVERTYVS ( hm?) 16:08, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
- Weak delete for the reasons raised by Qwertyus. Or alternatively stub, rename to something like Malcha (New Delhi), and rebuild per WP:TNT. This article tries to be the history of a neighborhood in New Delhi, that was once a village and then taken for public use in 1911. For those, like me, who knew nothing about the issue before seeing this page: A Google search for <Malcha village "New Delhi"> turns up multiple newspaper articles about the villagers' continuing claims to compensation, including a 2007 demand that they be allowed to choose the President of India because the Rashtrapati Bhavan (the President's residence) sits on their former land. [1] [2] [3] We don't seem to have an existing article about this, other than a brief mention at Rashtrapati Bhavan. -- Arxiloxos ( talk) 16:24, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

- Delete No sources, pushing a point of view, written from a non-broad view, and just basically problematic. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 02:26, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
- Delete The real malcha is in Israel. This is otherwise completely false (not to mention unsourced) and problematic per all the above. 174.3.125.23 ( talk) 05:28, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
- Keep There is a lot of detail here that could be worked in a decent article. A cleanup of typos is also needed. Tabletop ( talk) 06:29, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- Delete and start again or userify as Malcha (New Dehli). This seems to be a soapbox for a community that thinks it was unjustly deproved of its ancestral land. However, the article provides no context. It is written in the first person plural (our), but does not make clear who "we" are. No adequate sourcing (so that it appears to be WP:OR). Too many problems for an uninvolved editors easily to solve. Peterkingiron ( talk) 19:22, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
