Masasi Town Council → Masasi – The article is about the town as a population centre, not specifically its administrative body. Masasi currently redirects to Masasi District which is composed of the rural areas surrounding the town of Masasi, and is governed by a separate district council which should not be considered the primary topic of the word.

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:16, 11 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Object to speedy move This is a change in the primary topic. The current target redirects to a different topic, which isn't a stub, unlike this article. This should be discussed, as the stub is not distinctly about the population centre, since it is such a short stub, it can be specifically the administrative body. Perhaps a new article "Masasi" could also be created overviewing the regional history instead of specifically the governments. -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 08:26, 11 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

I'm not aware of any reliable sources capable of establishing the notability of Masasi's Town Council. Just to put this discussion in context, we have no articles on any district-level council in Tanzania, not even for any of Dar es Salaam's municipal councils. This article should be either moved or deleted. Cobblet (talk) 05:56, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Leaning oppose, no evidence has been provided as to whether the current redirect target of the proposed new title is not the primary topic of that title. bd2412 T 00:14, 20 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
