cobden ontario hello i'm a moderate user of wikipedia my opus for this site has to be the article i wrote on cobden ontario this is my home town and i did a lot of research into it's history and everything so that i could make a good article on it i have received a lot of comments from people in my town about the article and a lot of them have told me they learned things that they didn't know before recently a user named bearcat has merged a lot of stub articles into the article about their region i'm not sure what the policy is on this most of the articles were about very unnotible places mclarens settlement being the best example but i'm a little unclear on why he seems to insist on merging cobden aswell the article was over words long i know that there doesn't need to be articles on everything on earth but and i realize i may be the minority on this it seems like towns should have their own articles i mean people may want information about them and it was hard for me to find it all now the information is all broken up and scattered across the whitewater region article anyways the reason i'm bothering you with this is because you seem like you would probably know a little more about wikipolicy than me and i saw you get involved before i guess you could say i'm asking for your help and opinion and my main question is this are towns not worthy ever of their own article ok thanx
