Regional Pay Accounts office is not notable. WP:BRANCH Uncletomwood (talk) 03:29, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why cant it be notable? The pay accounts office dsc is managing the pay and other finance functions of the 61000 Defence security corps(dsc) located through out the military installations of govt of india and selected embassies. and it is a govt office of importance in kannur kerala. roshyf2 04:30, 12 August 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roshyf2 (talk • contribs)

Delete and Comment: Mr Roshan, The minute regional, administrative and functionality differences in "military Pay Account offices" should not be counted for separate articles. You could create a page for CGDA and create a separate para for all the regional offices and clubbed together. It would be really unusual to have articles on each of the regional/zonal office of Military pay office, as it won't have much content to add on after a certain time. There seems to be no rationale for having many articles, on pay account offices which are anyway not notable organisations. You may add this information to a page you can create on the CGDA or in the IDAS page itself. See this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Finance_and_Accounting_Service. Also Mr. Roshan you seem to have a very high Conflict of Interest with regard to this matter and COI editing is strongly discouraged in Wikipedia.

RETAIN and comment :Mr Uncle tom your advice is highly appreciated,i am on creating a CGDA wiki article which will have links to the 44 military pay accounts offices ( that cares for diverse regiments, and corps).That does not undermine the significance of the wiki articles of Military pay accounts offices because links have to be connected to a link article.The office of the CGDA historically had different names and a span of around 270 yrs. Unlike US defence finance which is a recent one and located in same country , the Indian defense finance and accounting offices have suffered relocation due the infamous partition of Indian sub continent and the creation and location of troops and regiments have changed. The Wiki article Defense_Finance_and_Accounting_Service which you have given for my understanding also have links to regional military depots , reserve centers , closed military installations of US which is seldom updated with contents or just updated to change the name of the head of the office .The wikipage for PAO DSC or any military pay accounts office becomes distinct because of different purpose,origin, clientele and procedures it follow. If the entire details get infused in a single CGDA wiki , the page becomes gigantic. More over these offices have regional importance too (say important govt offices/ military offices of Kannur). There is no Conflict of interest from my side. The right to information in India gives the right to each and every person of functioning of offices in a location. There are two sets of people who would like to know about these offices the direct clientele(DSC SOLDIERS and related) , other sister Ministry of defence organisations and Common man who may like to know about the offices.roshyf2 06:56, 16 August 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roshyf2 (talk • contribs)

Need your expert help @DGG, Lemongirl942, and SwisterTwister: Uncletomwood (talk) 08:57, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. routine government offices of this sort maintain their own web sites, and the necessary detailed information should be there. Everyone knows to look for there if they need info. we're an encyclopedia , not a self help resource or a directory--see WP:NOT. When we do have an article on an organisation we do not link to its local offices--again, that is expected to be on the main website. In fact, we have a rule against doing so, WP:ELNO. The right to information about government functions in India is expected to be met by the activities of the government. It is not a right to have articles about them on a private website dedicated to another purpose entirely. We cannot be expected to fulfill the functions of every possible information need, worldwide, just those that one would expect to find in a modern encyclopedia. WP articles are addressed to the general public, and this is met by articles on the general organization . Material addressed to the clients is considered promotional, no matter who writes it.

Delete I agree with the the reasoning by DGG above. I am generally supportive of keeping article about government offices, but this one is a sub-branch if I am not wrong? Accordingly, WP:NOTDIR applies here. We don't create individual articles on every sub-branch of a government office. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 14:43, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
