message: I added Moose Hill School which is Pre-K and K.  Does anyone know if the three elementary schools still do Kindergarten now, or are they all at Moose Hill?  Isoxyl 20:59, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Moose Hill school is not Pre-K. Only their SPED program is pre-K which is the Londonderry Early Education Program or simply LEEP. The three elementary schools NEVER had kindergarten. Londonderry started doing K schools just a few years ago and I can't remember the year funny thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.223.171.123 (talk) 00:55, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I never heard about this Londonderry resident getting evicted. Now someone wants to be PC and cover this story up. The article with that man is in the verge of getting deleted Why is that? Why can we tell some truth? I never heard of this story and I live in Londonderry. If we delete this article about this man, and cover up this story and make it fragmented, do we need to get the "Lies my Teacher Told Me - Everything your Textbook Got Wrong" author to explain about cover ups and how it will corrupt kids (and adults) minds of history in the future?
I would like to request that, that article not get removed and the link from this article of that person gets linked back. 
Politcally Correctness - covers up the truth! Let's just tell the truth and who cares of that person gets offended - its the truth!
Enough of that! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.223.171.123 (talk) 00:55, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: The evicted resident

message: I nominated the Robert Saulnier page for removal, because it is non-notable.  Wiki has rules about such things, and normally when someone creates a page like that, which is non-neutral and biased, it is because that person wants attention.  These are vanity pages, as I understand them.  I don't have any desire to cover up anything.  I have no vested interest in EITHER side.  Just an interest in keeping the Wikipedia full of useful information and uncluttered by fluff.  I don't think this Robert Saulnier thing is so big as to be of such importance on the Londonderry page at all.  I mean, there are LOTS of other things I think would be worth mentioning before that.  Still, I allowed it on the page, as a mention.  Maybe should add a link in to a story about it.  But does Robert Saulnier deserve his own page, I don't think so. (My opinion, but other Wiki folks seem to agree.)  Anyway, this is nothing about Political Correctness at all.  If Londonderry's in the wrong, by all means, they should fix it.  I just don't think the Wiki needs to be the place to do it.  Even so, if you disagree, comment on the "Articles for Deletion" page about RS.
As for Kindergarten, thanks for the info.  I was just trying to get an idea from those still in the know about what the current state of schools was.  I didn't remember South, North, and MT having K, but since someone said they did, I assumed they were right.  I put down "Pre-K" on Moose Hill because that's what they say on their page, but apparently they only mean LEEP.  So, thanks for clearing that up.  I didn't see if you have changed the page itself or just this talk page, but I'll check.  Thanks!
As an aside, please sign your talk if you can with four tildes.  Isoxyl 13:31, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  A response 

message: Yeh, all the other NH towns have "Notable inhabitants".  That isn't to say that's *right*, just that I've been standardizing the cities and towns pages.  WikiProject Cities uses "Notable Natives", but that cuts out a lot of our "summer residents" and others associated with a particular town.  I picked "inhabitants" when I started standardizing, but I'm open to finding another word.  I thought "and other people associated with X" was a bit too wordy, though :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 15:45, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What about those who were born there, but no longer live there.  For instance, Poet Ethan Paquin grew up in Londonderry and attended LHS, but no longer lives in Londonderry.  Is this still worthy of mention?  Still, he doesn't seem to fit the definition of "inhabitant" though he would "native"... Isoxyl 21:36, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the year(s) that someone is/was an inhabitant doesn't really play a part.  For instance, Hanover, NH lists people who are dead and people who lived in Hanover for some period of time, though may not any longer.  Likewise, people born in a place but don't live there now. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 01:07, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, sounds good to me!  Thanks. Isoxyl 01:29, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Err...   Ethan Paquin?  He has a stub page here.  He looks to be a young college professor with a blog who has been published.  His work is not mainstream as far as I can tell.  Why would we call him notable? Thebmk 19:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Theoretically, if he's got a page on Wikipedia, then he's notable.  If not, nominate him for deletion. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 21:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  Notable enough at the moment for his own article.  I think given his publications, his article is warranted, but that is my own opinion...  Isoxyl 05:08, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, if you say so.  I may nominate the article for deletion.  The statement "notable enough at the moment for his own article" is the one that bothers me though for two reasons.  First, The article looks a lot like a marketing tool.   Second, because even if one assumes that it is legitimate (and one SHOULD do so), it is still a stub - and if this is indeed a notable person one would expect more.  SatyrTN - the criteria for notability that stood out to me was permanence.   Question: If Mr. P Died today, would the Smithsonian, The Museum of NH History, or in anyplace else think he was notable in 2017? Thebmk 02:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Feel free to nominate said article for deletion.  I don't believe it is a marketing tool, as a little looking around shows a lot of similar articles for minor writers out there. Still, far be it from me to say that you think EP is notable.  BTW, you shouldn't be bothered by such a throwaway statement like "notable enough at the moment for his own article" -- I was echoing the comment of SatyrTN that if he has a Wikipedia article he is (theoretically at least) considered notable by SOMEONE.  I tend to fall more on the "keep" side of notability debates, for legitimate article subjects, because Wikipedia has the ability to be comprehensive and include minor, less important, articles about subjects that would never warrant articles in a real printed encyclopedia.  But that is my opinion.  Nor does the fact that the article is a stub bother me.  There are a LOT of much shorter stubs out there.  But, I ramble on.  I don't much care.  I would (and will) vote KEEP on the EP article, but feel free to nominate for deletion.  On a side note, I do believe that the Londonderry article should include some more Notable people--because as much as I think we should keep the EP article, there MUST be many more notable people in/from town, and it would be good to have THEM listed as well.  My humble opinions only...  Have a nice day.  Isoxyl 05:09, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't really want to focus on Mr. P himself though, but on what criteria we are using to determine that someone is notable.  I can think of several people who probably are notable by any standard that would make Mr. P notable at this time.  The question is does Mr. P define the bar for minimum notability?  Is the bar lower?  We could easily add a dozen or so still-living "notables".  Why shouldn't we? Thebmk 02:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

message: From the article:
* "Londonderry was the second largest town"
Second largest in what?  The colony? Isoxyl 23:11, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually many towns broke off from Londonderry at a certain point in time.  Manchester is one of those!!!!!!  Yes.. that claim is very likely to be true.VentusIgnis 00:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I hope to add to the History section sometime in the next few weeks.  At present, nothing seems to have happened in Londonderry between 1790 and 2000.  This is mostly true of course.  :-)  Does anyone know of anything that ought not be left out? Thebmk 03:03, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: History

message: Another resident or two you might want to mention: Brad Delp, the lead singer of Boston lived in Londonderry for most of the 80s and the 70s; also Matt Czurchy from Gilmore Girls grew up in Londonderry.
There have been (or at least were) for the past 50+ years four family owned orchards in Londonderry ~ Mack's, Sunnycrest, Woodmont, and Elwood.  (Mack's was owned by the Mack Family, Sunnycrest by the Connors, Woodmont by the Lievens and I'm not sure who owned Elwood.) 
Also, we were always taught at Matthew Thornton that Londonderry was the largest (land mass) town or city in NH. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.42.172.31 (talk) 19:06, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good points.  I think fleshing out the Orchards and their heritage would be useful.  The land mass thing I think should be checkable.  Anyone have the facts?  Feel free to add the Notable Residents if you can find a source for the data... Isoxyl 20:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge discussion 

message: This place in New Hampshire is NOT the site for any Wikipedia readers/editors to take out their frustrations regarding the name dispute on the island of Ireland.  That is irrelevant to this article.  The town in NH was named after this city in Ireland, which at the time was called Londonderry.  What it is now called is irrelevant, and edits seem to always push one side or the other of this agenda.  The agreed-upon language, now consistent with the Londonderry (NH) Historical Society language, should not be altered without serious justification.  To gain that justification from those of us who watch this page, please discuss here FIRST, before making changes.  Otherwise, they will be reverted immediately.  Isoxyl (talk) 19:45, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I would just like to add that the city you refer to in the Kingdom of Ireland as it was then, was called Londonderry and is still officially called Londonderry irrespective of Irish Republican attempts to change it and wikipedia consensus. I certainly agree that what the city is called now is not of relevance here. However,I find it quite trivial and intriguing that you saw fit to remove the sentence which I inserted in the article such that: "... the town was chartered and given the name "Londonderry" in commemoration of the city where most of them had resided in their native land". --81.187.71.75 (talk) 12:32, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Another way to look at this is from the New Hampshire/New England point of view.  Many people in the region are aware that Londonderry and Derry are towns in New Hampshire, but I suspect far fewer realize that they both are named after the same place in Ireland.  That's a good enough reason to show both names in this article.--Ken Gallager (talk) 13:45, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
