Hotin County (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A potential non-notable place with no references.Chris! ct 03:09, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Complete rewrite - County are notable by itself, but this one-sentence "article" should just be tossed out. SYSS Mouse 03:34, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep All geographic locations are notable. Needs work, but no way should it be deleted. faithless (speak) 03:35, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Provided the place does exist. :) faithless (speak) 03:36, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
  • I was cautious because Google Earth doesn't turn up anything, but the expansion of the article explains why that is. Good job, Carlos! faithless (speak) 00:32, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Well, Romanian Wikipedia seems to find it notable and has much more information on this place. I'm not an expert on Romania, but Judeţs seem to be equivalent to French Departments or American counties, which are considered inherently notable. Not a lot of Romanians edit on English Wikipedia, so it takes time for these articles to expand. --Oakshade 03:39, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Being WP:BOLD I have added the good stuff from the Romanian WP into our article. Someone fluent in Romanian should just make sure that I got it 100% correct but most Latin languages are sufficiently similar that I'm confident at the 95% level. And anyone who is interested, maybe wikiproject Romania, could do likewise to about a dozen more of these. Carlossuarez46 19:25, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Great job in expansion! --Oakshade 21:41, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, real places are inherently notable. Corvus cornix 19:29, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, automatically notable if it exists, nothing indicates that it doesn't exist. Punkmorten 21:11, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Such locations are automatically notable but expansion has massively improved article anyway. Davewild 07:20, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per WP:OUTCOMES. Smashville 16:25, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep. Since when did counties become non-notable places? You've got to be kidding. Burntsauce 17:40, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
