I placed the rewrite tag because of the article's overall condition. I don't doubt that the place exists, but I know nothing about it, even its location: is this really Howard Township? Is it located elsewhere in the county? Is it just a locality, or does it have some official status — and if an official status, what kind? Aside from bits like advertising (I would delete, except for all I know the statements are correct and only expressed in a POV manner), the article needs sources on many matters. I'm very curious to find out how we know that it has 5,000+ people if it's not a CDP — or if it is, why it's not on the county map for Knox County. In short: please remove advertisements, source items, and explain the nature of Howard. Nyttend 19:49, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I will work on this. I actually know people that live there. Dragon's Wish 16:32, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

I removed most of this article because of its altogether unsourced nature. You can't determine the exact population, income, crime, etc. of an unincorporated area, unless it's a CDP, which this isn't. All that I can imagine is that someone got this confused with some other place, whether Howard Township or somewhere else. Nyttend 14:51, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
