Jayanta Nath: Hasnabad and Falta deleted and restored. Shuvendu: I was new, didnt know that villages cannot be included in bnwp. Hasnabad was deleted as it was village. Defined census town. Jayanta: Hasnabad is a village? Anyway, there is obvious importance. Please contact me if any help needed, ping me in talk page. I think, every discussion should be on-wiki. Someone should start policy discussion on Wikipedia. Rajeeb: What is the rule of deletion? Jayanta: The community decided to delete the article, that doesnt mean the article cant be written. Rajeeb: If majority of article is contributed by many other efitors, shall it be deleted?
