[edit] Whiskey Summer of 1947

Whiskey Summer of 1947 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

hyper-local event with limited (if any) notability. The author wrote that the entire event was largely forgotten until some newspaper clippings were unearthed. Toddstreat1 13:50, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - Non-notable for anywhere but the one town in Illinois; completely unreferenced. /Blaxthos 14:17, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - A couple of Googles on "Whiskey Summer" plus Illinois or 1947 all came up dry (if you'll pardon the pun.) Unless someone can come up with a better, well referenced, reason than "made liquor laws stricter in one county" for notability, I see no reason to keep this article. -- HiEv 14:40, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Apprarently not important enough in the history of Olney, Illinois, for the local paper to mention it on the 60th anniversary Mandsford 01:19, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
  • "Keep" The local paper sucks. They are lucky to have a front page filled with local news. I have several more articles to scan and much more infromation to add. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ironladysmom (talk • contribs) 21:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - per above. It may be locally important but does not meet notability and even thought the paper is a source, it should have more than just the one. Is there any mention of it in a historical text? --EarthPerson 21:36, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
