The article was created in 2011 when a company proposed a monorail system for Ahmedabad city and did MoU with the government. There is no update on the project after that either from the company or from the government. No news about it can be found. Only references in the article are related to that proposal. The proposal might be scrapped. May fail WP:NTRAN because of lack of sources on the project. The notability guideline does not suggest how a proposed project which is not progressing should be handled. But I believe a proposed project which is not going anywhere even after seven years should not be here. Nizil (talk) 07:20, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP - A quick search on Google found plenty of articles [1]. - Morphenniel (talk) 09:21, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Morphenniel:, I think you are confusing Ahmedabad Monorail with Ahmedabad Metro. Both are different things. A link you posted above is abut metro, not monorail.-Nizil (talk) 10:56, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per norminator and as per WP:CRYSTALBALL and lack of sources about the subject. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 12:08, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Nizil Shah (including Nizil Shah's reply to Morphenniel's comment, distinguishing the Monorail from the Metro), along with Tyw7. I agree with Nizil's logic about why this would not meet WP:NTRAN, being a proposed project that never happened. Yetisyny (talk) 13:06, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to a short paragraph about the proposal at Ahmedabad#Transport. The proposal is notable enough for a mention in the article, but it seems there is insufficient information to sustain a whole article currently and it doesn't seem likely this will change any time soon. Thryduulf (talk) 13:52, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Thryduulf:, I am OK with merge but I think the topic is not worthwhile to add in the city article because there is no information or progess on the project beyond a proposal even after 7 years. Metro is under construction now and this project might have been shelved long ago.-Nizil (talk) 17:47, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly not every proposal is notable, but I think this one is, given the sources that exist for it. That it didn't go anywhere is just as encyclopaedic as it getting built - it just means there is significantly less than can be said about it. Thryduulf (talk) 18:30, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
