the district is inexistent; Internet search results do not report anything on the topic; the article says it was "proposed to be created" 5 years ago but it has not been mentioned on any news source or even by Zambia's government from that time.

Delete: The creator is a long-banned user, who was notorious for mass-generating articles from lists in generally unreliable sources. Imaginatorium (talk) 04:13, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This is one in a list of "articles" on geographical subdivisions, helpfully listed on his user page. (These were generated over an interval of 12 seconds!) Could someone who knows the subject matter please check if there are other problematic or nonsensical entries... Imaginatorium (talk) 05:03, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Imaginatorium All the other articles he created on Zambia represent existing districts, as shown on the Districts of Zambia article. This is the only one that needs to be deleted. GeographicAccountant (talk) 17:26, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that's fine then. Thanks for your work on this... Imaginatorium (talk) 17:43, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete: This district has not been created and will not be. The Only place from all Google Searches where this "proposed district" has been mentioned is on this "Zambian Parliament Session" (Link 1) from the 10th of March 2017. From that time, the Government of Zambia has not said a word about that (or at least "sources" cannot be found) and the User who created Chilinda District should have confirmed properly if that "proposal" will actually take place. It's now 2022, with a different President & Cabinet & there is still no talk about the creation of this district. So, if all the available Geographical Sources say that there is No District of Zambia with this name (& that there are no "plans" to allocate any land area as a new district), then this article "should not exist" on any online website, including Wikipedia.
