[edit] Colbert, Washington

Colbert, Washington (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Does not assert notability. Also, no relaible secondary sources; in fact, no sources at all. Could be a hoax for all I know. Plusstudy 19:07, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - while it is a stub, the article could be expanded fairly easily as it is indeed a real city :). From a quick web search, it appears to have a population of almost 8000, several schools, etc. Collectonian 19:24, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, or even Speedy Keep. Towns/locations/blips on a map/generally all named places - are notable. A simple google map search proves its existence. Note that this nomination is the ONLY contribution from user:Plusstudy. HIGHLY unusual level of wiki-competence for a new user's FIRST EDIT, possibly a sock? Keeper | 76 19:26, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Real places are always considered notable, and this one appears on maps and has weather, so I'm pretty sure it's real. Pinball22 19:34, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I can't find WP:N that covers geographic locations, but it has a real ZIP code. -- Mikeblas 19:45, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per WP:OUTCOMES. Except for copyvios, I have never seen a town get deleted. --SmashvilleBONK! 20:45, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as a real place, per Pinball22. ZZ Claims ~ Evidence 21:08, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
  • (possibly Snowball) Keep; it definitely exists, has listings here, exists on Google Maps... not a hoax, not a super tiny place. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:27, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep WP:OUTCOMES#Places says that "Cities and villages are acceptable, regardless of size." and I'd say a town of 8,000 is therefore notable. Sheffield Steeltalkstalk 21:37, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
