• Comment - Content appears to be a copyvio in any case. Humansdorpie 23:35, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: Noteworthy event. (Rewrite, obviously, if it is a copyvio.) Peter Grey 08:21, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The copyvio text had already been removed, and I've replaced it with an informative stub. Deletion of this useful page would be inappropriate. Zaian 00:35, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The census is notable for being the source for essentially all South African population data in use today, and for the large publicity surrounding it at the time. (They even had a census data collector come into the Big Brother house!). Of course, the article as it stands needs a lot of work; nonetheless, we are supposed to vote on the notability of the topic rather than the quality of the existing article (or so I am led to believe). htonl 20:45, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
