Reviewed during NPP. No evidence of wp:notability under GNG or SNG. This defined as the area within the jurisdiction of a particular police station, within the city of Dhaka. Not a "place" in a normal or SNG sense of the term. These type of districts are specifically excluded under NGEO. North8000 (talk) 19:06, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, thanas of Bangladesh are indeed notable because in Bangladesh we also regard them as place (be officially or unofficially). Thana is also administrative subdivision in Bangladesh, and in census report you can find thana based population data (Census tract, for example see Uttar Khan Thana). It proves that we refer thanas as "place" in general sense and it is indeed a legally recognized place. Also I found many sources about it, so it is only matter of verifying these sources you can find in google to see if they really are reliable or not. Mehedi Abedin 21:21, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, there is no logical reason for Hatirjheel Thana, an administrative division of DNCC, to be deleted. A thana means an area which is controlled by a police station. Hatirjheel Thana being removed means that Motijheel Thana, Gulshan Thana, Dhanmondi Thana, Shahbagh Thana and Tejgaon Thana and all the others also has to be removed.

• Comment The SNG specifically excludes the more abstract "set of lines on a map" : " Census tracts, and other areas not commonly recognized as a place (such as the area in an irrigation district) are not presumed to be notable.") For example, I live in a town that truly acknowledged to be presumed notable. I also live in many other legally defined districts....legally defined sets of lines on a map which are different than those of the town. A school district, a junior college district, a fire protection district, a mosquito control district, a precinct, a census tract, a water authority district, a park district. All of the rest of those are not presumed notable. If you asked me where I lived, the answer would never be telling you one of the latter. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 12:39, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
