[edit] Despard, West Virginia
Non notable town, article only lists geographics and demographics Sploooshman 08:53, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Real community, geography is important for an encyclopedia to cover comprehensively. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:08, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- While cities and large towns are notable and deserving to be recognised in a comprehensive encyclopedia, smaller townships and villages with no historical, cultural, social or other significance are not. As this town has no past or present achievements or any form of notoriety it does not pass notability guidelines and until it reaches these its deletion is justified Sploooshman 09:40, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:OUTCOMES. Although not a guideline or policy, consensus has been in the past that cities, villages, and towns are all sufficiently notable. --Dhartung | Talk 10:29, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
