Talk:Hart's Location, New Hampshire

Federal elections
please, tell me, this section was a joke, wasn't it? I heard a rumor this was an encyclopedia, maybe it was just that - a rumor. --09:03, 4 November 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.52.228.68 (talk)

The early voting of Hart's Location is the most notable feature about it. See the similar list in the entry for the slightly more famous Dixville Notch (Currently at 3507 hits in Google News vs. 2961 for Hart's Location.) Rushing to delete the information without discussion on election day, the day when people are going to be most interested in finding out about it, does not seem appropriate.Daetrin (talk) 13:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * None of the three citations included in the Federal elections section support claims of the "town's reputation as belwether". Without a citation, the section fails notability, does not fall within WikiProject Cities/US Guideline and is most likely Manual of Style/Trivia sections. It has an arbitrary start date, but worse, has no logical end, and within a decade or two would consume a huge portion of the page. It should be removed, or at least turned into it's own page (but I doubt it would meet notability with those citations). Cheers, Dkriegls (talk) 19:53, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

That's not a reason to delete the info today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.163.49.29 (talk) 19:21, 15 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a news source. Contemporary state of information shouldn't matter. -- D kriegls  ( talk to me! ) 05:10, 25 July 2012 (UTC)


 * It's the only notable information about the jurisdiction. It should be included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.163.49.29 (talk) 00:02, 1 September 2012 (UTC)


 * It's sufficient to note that the elections occur and that they're early, which is what had been retained in the article. Anything more goes beyond the purpose of Wikipedia.  --Ken Gallager (talk) 13:22, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Demonstrate that it is Notable and we will. -- D kriegls  ( talk to me! ) 07:34, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I came here this morning (election day) after reading about this year's vote looking for historical information about previous years and was literally stunned when it wasn't here. I cannot fathom a reason not to include it.  The only reason anyone cares about this place is its election tradition and basically every newspaper is reporting its results right now.  The fact that every newspaper everywhere reports the results of this town would seem to indicate that it's a rather notable thing.--B (talk) 13:49, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

West Wing reference
Since it's sort of given a nod by The West Wing (as "Hartsfield Landing"), is it also worth noting that the next town over is called "Bartlett"? Especially given that the character of Josiah Bartlet is from New Hampshire as well, and canonically a descendant and namesake of the founder of that town. 75.112.52.7 (talk) 14:34, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * "Hartsfield Landing" is a tenuous, trivial link to this town, and thus mentioning that Bartlett next door is also linked to the show is even more trivial for this article. Maybe appropriate to the West Wing article, but not here. Note that the Bartlet connection is already made in the Bartlett, NH article, so again, no need to repeat it here. --Ken Gallager (talk) 20:07, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
