Speedy deletion of Old Town (Lansing, Mi)

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ukexpat (talk) 20:42, 18 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, I declined that speedy deletion request, because the article wasn't a blatant ad. It sort of reads like an advertisement, though, so you might want to reword the article or expand it so it sounds less like advertising.  And, actually, the district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as "North Lansing Historic Commercial District", so I'm sure there's some good history that can be added about the area.  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 22:04, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
