[edit] Alakamisy, Fianarantsoa
Orphaned substub; notability not established. Lea (talk) 22:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Note: Has just been moved from Alakamisy (now dab) to Alakamisy, Fianarantsoa; updated this AfD accordingly. -- Lea (talk) 22:36, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Comment copied from User talk:LeaW:
All geographical articles whether it is towns or mountains etc are inherently notable. The problem is often accessing enough information to expand them into decent articles but because they are sub stubs doesn't mean they should be deleted. I'm sure you've noticed that there are many such articles on wikipedia ♦ King of Baldness ♦ $1,000,000? 22:27, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

- The article doesn't tell how many inhabitants the town has (and a quick Google search doesn't turn anything up) — I don't even know if this article is significantly expandable at all.
I'm not clueful enough on place notability, and whether it's generally a good idea to keep substubs on towns, so I'll just keep this AfD open and let other people decide. -- Lea (talk) 22:45, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

- Speedy Keep lack of information in the article does not detract from the fact that as a town it is notable for inclusion. Agathoclea (talk) 22:58, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Exactly you don't even know. Have you never heard of systematic bias on wikipedia and inequality in information on the web, google included? ♦ King of Baldness ♦ $1,000,000? 23:00, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Keep - All towns are notable regardless of size. It certainly exists. Certainly more information on this town exists too. There are over 12,000 non-WP ghits [1]. --Oakshade (talk) 23:50, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Okay — should have read Wikipedia:Notability (Places and transportation) more carefully. :-) Withdrawn. -- Lea (talk) 00:35, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
