Requested move 28 October 2015

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved as unopposed. I guess the proposed title is a proper noun, so there shouldn't be a problem with capitalising it. Jenks24 (talk) 01:37, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Smart Cities in India → Smart Cities Mission – The article is about the scheme of Government and the cities are a mere part of that Scheme -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · count) 06:46, 28 October 2015 (UTC) --Relisted. sst✈^discuss 09:17, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Noting that Bishonen moved this while it was listed at RM. Generally we will close as move any discussions that don't get a response, but I'll leave this open for a little longer in case Bishonen wants to make a comment. Jenks24 (talk) 12:11, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Don't mind me, I just moved it to the correct capitalization. I wasn't aware of the RM, and I don't have any opinion on it. Bishonen | talk 13:37, 13 November 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Smart Cities Challenge section

The entire section is written like a political advertisement for the government. The style appears highly biased, and the prose is incompatible with encyclopedic standards. Statements like "people used to ask where is the development" and "That is why this Mission is refreshingly different" make it appear that the user who introduced the information is pushing POV by using weasel wording.

Overly vague description of projects under this initiative

The article uses vague language to describe what the Smart Cities Mission actually entails, other than to generally improve standards of living. Are there any specifics to the project? Specific upgrades in transport, communications, sanitation etc? There's a lot of information about the background, but not much information as to what exactly is to be done as part of the initiative. I understand each city will implement the project differently, but there are only 3 concrete examples of specific projects in participating cities. Many participating cities have a paragraph mentioning their selection prominently in the leads of their wiki pages (see Jalandhar, Bhopal, Dharamsala, New Delhi, etc) , so surely a better list can be created with each individual specific project.

Formatting problem

There seems to be a formatting problem in the page, towards the end, that I am unable to correct Nagarpedian (talk) 05:36, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
