[edit] Rudgeway

non-notable miniscule village without a filling station... Please delete asap. Refdoc 00:19, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Extreme keep all real places. RickK 00:27, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)
• Definite keep. If this one goes I can easily find you 2,500 other articles on villages equally un-noteworthy from the UK alone - and many more from other countries. Grutness|^hello? 03:50, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: This was apparently either never listed on vfd or removed out of process, so I'm bringing it to today's page for resolution. —Korath (Talk) 00:36, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

Delete, not notable. Firebug 01:27, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - Searched for it and it has a lot of advertisements for business in that certain area. --Anonymous Cow 01:36, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep real places. Dave the Red (talk) 02:13, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Incidentally, should this be moved to Rudgeway, England or something of that nature? Meelar (talk) 02:57, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • If there's another Rudgeway somewhere, then Rudgeway, Countyname would be the format, I believe. But if there isn't, it's fine as it is. Grutness|^hello?
• Keep Notable english village. I wonder if it has a school? Klonimus 05:57, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Doesn't look like it has a school as a search for "Rudgeway school" resulted in 0 hits. It seems likely the kids are educated in Alveston, which is a mile or so up the road. Thryduulf 15:56, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It's a real place and possibly interesting to someone. Besides we have hordes of articles on American villages, so British ones should be just as noteworthy. Mgm|^(talk) 07:39, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per all keep votes above. Samaritan 10:48, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Reluctant keep. Having scoured Wikipedia:Importance and Wikipedia:Informative to try to find a reason to delete this, I couldn't find one. --Angr/_comhrá 12:07, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • "Keep real places" is a very well established principle. Kappa 21:09, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Although it is erroneously stated, since whenever I've enquired whether that includes the area behind the shed in my back garden, no-one espousing that maxim has yet answered in the affirmative, despite it unequivocally being a member of "all real places". Capitalistroadster's rationale below is far more indicative of the actual principle than "all real places" is. Uncle G 11:45, 2005 Apr 15 (UTC)
      • I guess in this case it means "keep all settlements". Kappa 22:29, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, can be expanded. If my planned trip this weekend falls through, then I might even be able to take some photos of it (its about an hour north of where I live). The map shows it has a church which might have an interesting history, and I'm sure the decine in the A38 after construction of the M5 motorway must have impacted the village. Thryduulf 15:56, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • That must put you in Wiltshire or Dorset, then. Grutness|^hello?
    • Cheddar in Somerset actually. It wont be quite an hour, but as I work on about 35-45 minutes to J16 of the M5 and its a few miles up the A38 from there, an hour is a nice round approximately accurate figure. Thryduulf 15:05, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep real place with community of interest. Capitalistroadster 02:26, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep All villages. Oliver Chettle 23:39, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
