[edit] Dauphin County Library System

Non-notable. No indication that these public libraries are any different than thousands of others. --Rtphokie (talk) 03:51, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Weak merge with Dauphin County. The info might be of some use there, but I certainly agree with the lack of its own notability. Umbralcorax (talk) 14:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Merge into Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 04:54, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable - doesn't just about every county and equivalent in the western world run a library system? --Nick Dowling (talk) 07:35, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge as per above suggestions. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 16:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep While the article may be badly written, unsourced and not that notable, residents of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania may wish to find out more about their local libary service. It isn't non-notable enough to be deleted in my opinion, and I'm sure WikiProject Pennsylvania might be able to help out with improvement.--Phoenix-wiki 20:41, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep The county is where the state capitol, Harrisburg, PA is located., and the main library is in that city. City libraries can be notable. Harrisburg is a small city (48,000), but its status as the capitol makes it significant. DGG (talk) 14:00, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Libraries are notable as institutions. Since most individual libraries lack sufficient information it is acceptable to include them in one article for the district, much like we do for school districts. Vegaswikian (talk) 03:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge - nothing here that justifies a separate article but a merge into Dauphin County, Pennsylvania as a section is the normal, sensible course of action. TerriersFan (talk) 01:22, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
