RBI Chandigarh

A non notable sub office of the Reserve Bank of India created in good faith by a new user. The currency chest function may have some small notability, but it appears to be just a bank branch. There is a merge flag present to suggest that any retrievable information be merged into the parent article. However it looks as if there is no useful information in this article, so I am suggesting formal deletion. Fiddle Faddle 09:24, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not notable. RBI has far too many regional offices which neither deserve mention on the RBI article page nor to they deserve a stand alone page. It is as good as having stand alone pages for the various branches of any bank for that matter.--PremKudva^Talk 11:50, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - just ridiculous. I am astounded. - Sitush (talk) 00:54, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a major financial institution for a state, not a retail bank. It is comparable with the branches of the US Federal Reserve and we have a page for each of those - see List of Federal Reserve branches and category:Federal Reserve Branches. To delete Indian institutions while maintaining US equivalents would be systemic bias. The article was nominated for deletion immediately after creation and so no time has been allowed for improvement per our editing policy. There are plenty of sources out there such as History of the Reserve Bank of India; The Reserve Bank of India; The Cambridge Economic History of India. The worst case is merger up to the main article about the parent institution so, per WP:ATD, there's no reason to delete. Warden (talk) 10:27, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Response: Actually even those Federal Reserve branch articles are not notable. The information in it or in the RBI article don't make them useful or encyclopaedic.--PremKudva^Talk 05:25, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per the extensive digging by Warden. SL 7968 10:30, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
