Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Astley Cross
Why must every populated settlement be notable? Unless any entities associated with the settlement are notable in their own right, all an article can be is a local directory or a travel guide, both things which |Wikipedia is not. Just because something appears in a local paper does not make it notable. '''The fact that this article is a stub has nothing to do with why I nominated''', it was because I cannot see any basis for claiming that the village is notable
