Speedy deletion nomination of Barnana
Hello Apexprimate,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Barnana for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Margalob (talk) 03:43, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
Hey Margalob, I would like some more time to make sure it is more encyclopedic. It is definitely meant to be purely informational and not promotional. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!
Sister cities
I'm afraid that you've misunderstood the term "sister city". It doesn't refer to side-by-side cities, like Minneapolis-St. Paul or Kansas City, MO-KS, or Omaha-Bellevue-Papillion, or the dozens of municipalities clumped together in the St. Louis metro. Scottsbluff-Gering-Terrytown and Minatare-Melbeta don't fit the definition, so shouldn't be listed as "sister cities". — Ammodramus (talk) 21:22, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
- Scottsbluff-Gering definitely fit this description
- Twin towns or sister cities are a form of legal and social agreement between towns, cities, counties, oblasts, prefectures, provinces, regions, states, and even countries in geographically and politically distinct areas to promote cultural and commercial ties.
- Minatare-Melbeta do not.
- See the evidence here: http://www.scottsbluffgering.net/
- Scottsbluff and Gering are not "in geographically and politically distinct areas". The lead section already notes that SB and G form a single urban area; it's not necessary to devote a section to that fact, and a bullet-list is a very space-inefficient way of presenting the information. A well-sourced paragraph on inter-city arrangements might be in order; but the ambiguous "sister cities" phrasing should be avoided. Ammodramus (talk) 00:14, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
