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]
