[edit] Colombo Municipal Council
No assertion of notability. Maybe someone can check their website for a reason to keep this organization in Wikipedia. I didn't find anything. YechielMan 04:39, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - the municipal council of a countries capital must be notable without having to look for sources. The council has been in existance since the 1860's. a few seconds of Googling shows at least 4 news articles in the last month and almost 15,000 hits on google. The article is awful at the moment nonetheless Peripitus (Talk) 06:04, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Delete. Strangely, I agree with Peripitus that the city council of a city as large as Colombo is notable. However, the article consists of a "vision" and "mission statement" and no body of real encyclopedic text. In its present form I cannot condone keeping this since cleaning it up would mean removing almost everything and starting from scratch.
