[edit] Renner, South Dakota

• No encyclopedic potential. Unincorporated community not tracked by the Census Bureau. Less notable than many, many high schools.

• Article doesn't even list a population. But we keep so many itty-bitty town entries, I think the overall decision will be to keep. Is there anything this could merge & redirect to? BigFatDave 01:42, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • If necessary, perhaps redirect to the county, Minnehaha County, South Dakota, and list under where it says "cities and towns".--Dmcdevit 01:55, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all real places. RickK 05:42, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. "Less notable than many high schools" sounds like WP:POINT. -- Curps 06:47, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I put that out. Does it make the article worthier? Ejrrjs | What? 06:55, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

No real reason to delete it, no reason it couldn't be considered encyclopedic. -- Curps 07:09, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. If its notable enough to have a zip code, it's notable enough to be on Wikipedia. Sjakkalle 07:33, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep things with their own zip code. Kappa 12:01, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all real places. Capitalistroadster 12:03, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Does that include the area behind the shed in my back garden? Uncle G 15:57, 2005 Apr 1 (UTC)
    • No but it includes all towns, villages, suburbs, significant geographic features and places recognised with their own zip codes. If places behind your shed meet this criteria then include them. Capitalistroadster 16:34, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • In other words: not "all real places". Uncle G 17:22, 2005 Apr 1 (UTC)
      • Pity, because each block side on each street of Buenos Aires, Argentina has its own, distinctive zip code. For example, C1043AAQ covers Corrientes Ave. from 300 to 398, but C1043AAD goes from Corrientes Ave. 301 to Corrientes Ave. 399. C1043AAQ includes Corrientes 348, named in the famous tango A media luz. On the other side (of the street) C1043AAD features the metal and glass building that hosts the Goethe Institute, the German Club and BASF countrywide headquarters [1]. Despite being an office space district, many people live there (probably as many as in Renner SD). No high schools, though...I'd say poor urban planning.

This criterion opens exiting possibilities for Wikipedia. (sic)

• • • It is a matter for discretion. However, in a less densely populated area such as South Dakota, a zip code is evidence of a genuine community of interest. Capitalistroadster 01:24, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The ZIP code criterion is too inclusive but the Census criterion is too exclusive. Renner is apparently a community that would be referred to by that name. Someday we may have an article about someone born in Renner. There are genuine places that aren't CDP's. For example, the article on Mary Cheney says, based on multiple sources, that she lives in Conifer, Colorado. JamesMLane 01:31, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. older≠wiser 20:57, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. Now that there is some real content, I withdraw my nomination. Ejrrjs | What? 00:54, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep (extremely) all real places with their own postal codes, even those with limited amounts of content. —RaD Man (talk) 00:51, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It's a legit place. Saopaulo1 22:21, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
