This division was never created and thus does not exist. The sources inside the article contradict that especially the source regarding 2017 census lists Sheikhupura District and Nankana Sahib District as part of Lahore Division. The Election Commission of Pakistan source does not mention Sheikhupura Division. Furthermore, there are sources published after 2008 (the purported year of creation for this division) which mention Sheikhupura District and Nankana Sahib District as part of Lahore Division such as this source.

Delete. The only source in the article that backs up any of its content is this blog post about a proposal for the creation of the division. I couldn't find any other sources online (I only searched in English): a web search comes up with wikipedia mirrors, pages mentioning Sheikhupura-based divisions of other organisations, and seedy websites with automatically generated location-based content that may have been built off wikidata. – Uanfala (talk) 15:03, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination. There is no mention of this division on the Local Government & Community Development website. Sildemund (talk) 23:00, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
