Keep Mansoora, Lahore (a neighborhood town or city district within the city of Lahore, Pakistan) is often covered in all the major newspapers of Pakistan. Even before this nomination, this article had 2 references from The News International and The Express Tribune newspapers of Pakistan. My Google Search turned up 3 more Pakistani news media references including Samaa TV News website and 2 more newspaper references. So it's very notable, no doubt.
How did the deletion nominator determine that it's not notable? Seems like the nominator does not like Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan (a political and religious party in Pakistan). That's fine, he's entitled to his view. But trying to delete an existing Wikipedia article on a neighborhood district just because the political party is also based there, does not make sense. Besides, making a 'Personal point of view' WP:PPOV basis or reason for deletion is clearly in violation of Wikipedia policy. Ngrewal1 ( talk) 17:13, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep - I'm not following the nom's logic, if there is any. What about this neighborhood including the headquarters of the Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan makes it not notable? If the population center is distinctive enough to even have a post office, it's notable. [1] Oakshade ( talk) 05:30, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

- Speedy Keep Clearly satisfies WP:NPLACE. A political party being based there may not grant it notability in and of itself, but it doesn't deny it notability either. It has little to do whatsoever with whether it's notable. Nomination is absurd and bordering on WP:IDONTLIKEIT given the subject matter. Smartyllama ( talk) 20:00, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
