[edit] Norfolk County Public Library

Norfolk County Public Library (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable library, fails WP:N. A google search reveals few sources from outside of Norfolk County. Yes, one of the buildings is a historical site, but that doesn't make the entire library system notable. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 23:52, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - fails WP:N as notability is not inherited from the potentially notable building. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Indian Valley Public Library seems relevant to this discussion and demonstrates that public libaries need to be unusual in some way to be notable. --Nick Dowling (talk) 00:06, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment - no feeling one way or another. Just wanted to add that this was a failed PROD. I deprodded the article since it was AfDed just last month (by me) when it was Simcoe Public Library. The results of that AfD were to rename and repurpose to cover the entire library system. Collectonian (talk) 00:10, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete or merge as non-notable. Terraxos (talk) 04:23, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete or merge The main article on Norfolk county is the place for mention of the public library, but, like many other articles linked to that page, it is not notable enough to have it's own article. There are about 95 articles about the various features of this one county in Ontario, and almost all of them are not notable enough to have their own entry.Beeblbrox (talk) 10:01, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep or merge. I am unconvinced that library systems (as opposed to an individual library) are not inherently encyclopedic considering that the library system in Oslo, "Deichmanske", has an entry in my Norwegian general purpose paper encyclopedia. Well, maybe this town is smaller, and the article is short enough to fit comfortably in with the county article so I guess merging is an option. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:13, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
