Non-notable One line entry on a commune in France. Google has next to no hits for this place. The list entry for Communes of the Calvados département of which this is an entry is full of one line entries. Perhaps better they all be merged into one large page rather than many sub-stubs.

  • (tag was added 24 hours ago.) Almost 3000 hits for "Les Moutiers-en-Auge". Procedural nom/keep--real, verifiable place. (some hits imply English form is just "Moutiers-en-Auge".) Niteowlneils 00:07, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep real places. RickK 00:57, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
yet your opposed to keeping real buildings like schools? are you by chance related to John Kerry? you certainly seem to flip-flop alot. Alkivar 01:12, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • Personal attack noted and remembered. You will find that my position has not flip-flopped. I have always voted to keep cities and towns and always voted to delete non-notable buildings, which is all a school is. RickK 21:43, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
  • Send to clean up. Some people can see distinctions, and some people can't. Geogre 01:38, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep geo-stub. Fire Star 02:29, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Weak delete. Does not establish notability. Alkivar, I know you and RickK don't get along, but please avoid personal attacks. Thanks. — Gwalla | Talk 04:50, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. A commune in France is a town-level administrative division, governed by a mayor and municipal council and headquartered at an Hôtel de ville, ie. town hall. Notable and expandible by definition. And I believe there's precedent from the U.S. for including even tiny communities added by the celebrated Census bot. Samaritan 08:15, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. An actual place. Also stubs serve a purpose. I can state based on experience (I've couple hundred Irish town articles on my watchlist, many are recent stubs we created), that it does encourage anon/random expansions (already many of the stubs we recently created have been expanded). zoney ♣ talk 13:41, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep We've got smaller places in the USA listed here. —Florescentbulb 02:07, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Abstain. If it's a town-level division, it's as belonging as the millions of towns in the united states. I'm not yet sure if I think they're encyclopedic, and neither here. --Improv 05:35, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep; real places are valid entries even if they are just stubs. IMO, YMMV, HAND. Bearcat 07:56, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • This may be an actual place, but the article itself is merely a repeat of information contained elsewhere Communes of the Calvados département that I feel is a better format for this info. If someone wishes to expand it in future, they could do from the Communes page. Since all useful data is already presented elsewhere, Delete unless expanded. Average Earthman 10:58, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, agree with Zoney, Samaritan and Florescentbulb. GRider 17:50, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Don't see the rationale to ignore that town. --Pgreenfinch 18:47, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • keep we have lots of little villages in America, why not one in another country.. Mozzerati 21:35, 2004 Nov 17 (UTC)
  • Keep it. [[User:Radman1|—RaD Man (talk)]] 06:49, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
