Deletion of Ab Lench

Comment: per  - a consensus that we can safely say will not change. The only geographical location that I have ever seen deleted on Wikipedia was a copyvio. You can throw blue links out all you want...consensus isn't going to change

Comment: There is a precedent for keeping articles, even if stubs, about geographic locations, hamlets, or villages. A bot created stub articles about every location which is listed in the U.S. census. Many of those have since been expanded with info from history books and newspapers. They have all been kept in AFDs so far as I know. Scads of other articles about localities have been created based on entries in the 1911 Britannica, and have been kept in AFDs. In these two groups of articles, the requirement for |verifiability was satisfied. In some cases hoaxers have created articles about nonexistent villages, which have been properly deleted, over the objection that "all gepgraphic locations are notable." I would insist on at least some reliable source as a reference, which this village seems to have. A problem with older references is that a village may have a name like "Oasis" or "Mill" or "Crossroads" or "The Ford of the River" or "Fortress" in a non-English language. and the reference might be to an entirely different geographic entity in the same country or political subunit of a country. A given province or country may have several villages with the same name, and references may be conflated. We sould insist that the reference actually applies to the same village described in the Wikipedia article, and that it does not conflate separate villages which co-existed or which existed in different eras. These concerns do not appear to apply to this one, but there have been recent AFDs where this was a problem

Comment: If I'm not mistaken, Wikipedia has only existed since 2001, which is like, 7 years. Why don't you just |give it a little more time

Comment: Towns/villages are inherently notable.  There's no such thing as a "non notable town."  An important example of the "common sense" and "occasional exception" clause of

Comment: In addition to the points made by Nick mallory, Uncle G, and others,  is clear on community consensus.  Under Places: Cities and villages are acceptable, regardless of size.  When these articles are found, improvement is the answer, not deletion.  —Preceding Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by
