Doubt whether such a region is defined by the city. Can't even find a single official source —Commander _{(Ping me)} 15:49, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

delete Unsourced. If a region is genuinely recognised, sourcing should be trivial. If unsourceable, that casts doubt on whether the term has any real currency. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:04, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

delete In addition to the above arguments: The only reference that can be found in the "external links" section of the article cites wikipedia as its source. ("copyright info ... see original wikipedia article") -- Austrian (talk) 21:27, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No verifiable references, no article. Lynch 7 06:57, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not an admin division. If any proposals exist, that can be covered in the city article--Sodabottle (talk) 07:53, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as per the above, I can find nothing to suggest that this exists as a formal entity. - Sitush (talk) 10:05, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Don't Delete - as per the above, I think that if this article give some references, than it shouldn't be deleted, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
Delete - I don't know if Kanpur has a defined metropolitan area, but even if it does, the content of the metro should be a part of the Kanpur article and not in a separate one like this. All Indian metro cities follow a similar pattern. X.One ^SOS 15:27, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
