Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Housing society

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Housing cooperative#India. There's some sort of consensus that this content isn't quite suited for its own article as is, and several different suggestions as to where it should go (if at all). I'm not sure if this is the best target, though it seems to be a good fit - if anyone thinks there's a better place, please retarget it there. Content is unsourced, but if sources are found, it can be merged in, and if sufficient sources are found for a standalone article, feel free to rewrite the article. ansh666 08:34, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion has been removed from the list of Hong Kong-related deletion discussions. Even though the phrase "Hong Kong" is in the hatnote, the article has nothing to do with Hong Kong. — Newslinger talk 15:39, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Is this similar to a homeowner association? Chris857 (talk) 17:34, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into Homeowner association. "Housing society" appears to be a variation of "homeowner association," most likely a regional term as described in Condominium#India ("Co-operative Housing Society"). Newslinger (talk) 23:10, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Homeowner association. An article with no references shouldn't be merged. Newslinger (talk) 04:36, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Here's a reference. Please see WP:BEFORE and WP:NOTCLEANUP. Andrew D. (talk) 21:55, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Homeowner association is clearly about the USA. Attempts to deal with this topic on a global basis seem unlikely to succeed. This article is a good example of a lot of unsubstantiated assertions, presumably taken from the context in which it was written. We already have many articles, see Category:Housing organizations. This essay is superfluous.Rathfelder (talk) 08:02, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment @Hhkohh: or others please relist this to India related topics. It has some resemblance to Resident welfare association. The topic appears notable. --DBigXray 09:13, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - simply a short essay, which is basically WP:OR. I think if someone had the inclination, and reliable sourcing were to be found, Newslinger's idea of redirecting to Homeowner association, and having a section there dealing with the concept on a global basis, might be the way to go. Until then, delete. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:11, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - While a definition of common term, it should be expanded and have examples. The term can be found anywhere else on the internet. Additionally, per nom and comment above about it being an essay.Redditaddict69 (talk) 18:22, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or redirect to housing cooperative. That article also covers common "housing companies" not just strictly co-operatives. --Pudeo (talk) 19:56, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect to Housing cooperative#India, better yet. TimTempleton ^{(talk) (cont)} 22:59, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
