The result was speedy keep - good work, people. DS 04:17, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article appears to be patent nonsense. A Google search for "'Napier Road' Pakistan produces only 792 results. This article is the first result, and the only article to even remotely mention prostition. That would make it unverifiable information, or possibly a hoax.

• Delete per WP:V. Fine tuning the search gets a few hits of the place being mentioned as a red light district. It exists and has some trivial mentions. I'll change my decision to keep if someone finds a 2nd hand source that covers the area in more detail than just a mention. —Mitaphane _talk 20:20, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changing decision to keep after reading some sources provided by Capitalistroadster. Admin should speedy close this since nom has been withdrawn. —Mitaphane _talk 18:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Very badly written, but Napier Road is apparently Karachi's principal red light district and a reference is provided in List of red-light districts. The main red light district in a major city is notable. -- Necrothesp 01:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I have found a source for its reputation for prostitution. [1] Britannica lists it as a notable road in its article on Karachi according to Google News Archive. [2]. Capitalistroadster 02:35, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I stand corrected. The PFD from above crashed my browser, but I got enough of it to pick up what you're laying down. I'll rescind my nomination, and tag the article appropriately. Consequentially 03:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
