• Speedy delete {{db-self}} placed on page. Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 22:05, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
• Not so fast!. This was an article with content before the nominator blanked it out. If the O'Connor and O'Connor Township are the same place, merge. The town calls itself O'Connor Township on its website, and the this page has non-trivial edit history. • Gene93k (talk) 22:47, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
• Restore deleted info. Or else delete every other article about small towns. •Jim62sch•^dissera! 23:16, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep all articles about small towns--even villages--as we have always done. We might conceivably decide to change it, but that would need a much wider discussion than just here, as it's one of the really firm practices, upheld by SNOW in every afd where it is questioned.DGG (talk) 23:32, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. If O'Connor township and O'Connor Ontario are the same places, it should be marged after discussion on talk pages. If not, this township warrants an article as per long standing practice. Capitalistroadster (talk) 23:34, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
• Need to clear something up - this page was already merged! This was an unused redirect page. I submitted it to the wrong deletion cycle. Sorry. O'Connor Township, Ontario and O'Connor, Ontario are the same thing. vıdıoman 23:38, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

• Plausibility as a search term matters as well as inbound links. This is a valid alternate name and redirects are cheap. • Gene93k (talk) 23:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

• Keep as a usable redirect. If these are different places, restore the separate article as well. Nyttend (talk) 13:26, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

• Keep O'Connor, Ontario is technically a township and it is not at all unreasonable to have a redirect from O'Connor Township, Ontario. In any case, shouldn't this be on WP:Redirects for discussion rather than AfD? older ≠ wiser 02:25, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep as redirect. Useful redirect and preserves author history required for GFDL. DoubleBlue (Talk) 03:12, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
