Wikipedia:Simple talk/Archive 73 Notability and towns
But I think it will be a truely dark day for this wiki if we delete clearly notable articles just because they were stubs. It was bad enough we wiped out the asteroids which I was a part of, and I was worried then that it would be a slippery slope, and sure enough it was. No wiki should be wiping out articles on clearly notable topics, no matter their size. While cities may or may not be notable to people individually, wikipedia's definition of notable means they have been written about in multiple reliable sources, if you can find a single town in the world that hasn't been written about twice I would be shocked. People always think notable means more than what it actually is.
