I can find no references that this is an actual district in the Republic of Congo.
This source (among several others) lists 6 districts in the Kouilou Region, and Pointe-Noire is not one of them. There is a Department by that name, but no district.

Strong keep. Pointe-Noire became its own department aka district in 2003. The relevant template and other pages need to be adjusted, but this article is accurate. --

hang on, maybe not. Since a reorganization in 2003 Republic of the Congo has 12 departments. Ten of those departments are broken up into districts. The other two departments, the cities Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire, are not subdivided into districts. This article has the District of Pointe-Noire belonging to the
Kouilou Region, which was correct before 2003 and certainly wrong today, so perhaps it is cleanest to delete it. --

WP:V. I have no objection to an article about such a district, even if it is in historical terms about an abolished district. However in the absence of sources we may be misleading people, so this must be deleted unless sources can be found.--
