  • Weak keep. The article wasn't nonsense; although I have no idea about the story of how it came by its name. In general, places don't have to pass a notability test to be on Wikipedia. I've cleaned it up significantly.-gadfium 04:07, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - As long as they're verified, towns of any size are inherently notable. --Oakshade (talk) 04:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep / Cleanup / Stubify. The village is a real place (and is therefore inherently notable). There is a photo of the hotel taken on 9 January 2008 here - it looks very much open for business to me. The Etymology and tourist promotion both need referencing. (I'd expect the source to turn out to be some historical pamplet which can be found at the nearest district library or museum). At the very worst this article should be reduced to a locality stub - it should not be deleted. dramatic (talk) 04:23, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment - ok, Gadfium has already done the cleanup while I was edit-conflicted :-) dramatic (talk) 04:30, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. I agree the article was messy to begin with, but this is a real settlement. -- Avenue (talk) 10:38, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep Article has been cleaned up and is now a decent stub on a town (keep in mind that towns are inherently notable). Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 15:41, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep per Avenue & Ten Pound Hammer. Nice save, Gadfium. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 16:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per Oakshade.--Berig (talk) 17:10, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. I was even able to find online weather forcasts for this place. Most named locations are considered notable, and this one definitely exists.--Fabrictramp (talk) 17:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
