[edit] Upton, Warwickshire

Appears to be an experiment and/or vanity. Delete--1pezguy 02:46, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete due to basic genealogical info. No place in the Wikipedia. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 06:32, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Abstain The correct response is to google "Upton, Warwickshire" and substitute some encyclopedia content. But I'm just as lazy as everyone else. --Wetman 06:39, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• I googled both names in the entry and found one or two links. --1pezguy 06:43, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, we don't have genealogical info in Wikipedia, and there doesn't appear to be a place called Upton in Warwickshire. Average Earthman 08:12, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Upton, Warwickshire is a town. This is obviously just a case of someone clicking on the redlink from Upton and typing in unrelated gibberish. I would have speedied it as patent nonsense on those grounds. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:06, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC) Change vote to keep. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:41, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Is it a town? It's so small that Google Maps didn't bother mentioning it - I've finally found it, though, it's north of Nuneaton, just off the A444 [1]. Average Earthman 14:55, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • It's a village. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:20, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. I've fixed it to be a very small stub about the village. Morwen - Talk 15:28, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
