Non notable town, very small population, no historical significance, no past or present achievements Sploooshman 09:21, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy keep. Real town. Period. Nominator has been asked to stop this ridiculous AFD spree. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:23, 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. Just because you disagree with an article's nomination does not make it ridiculous Sploooshman 09:42, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. The current consensus is that villages and towns are notable regardless of size.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 10:13, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep It's a real place, so it's notable. Wikipedia consensus holds all towns and villages notable and this one won't be any different. It's incredibly arrogant to think that a town where people live can be held unworthy of an entry here. Nick mallory 10:21, 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 10:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
