"Harvard, Illinois Historical Society"
Page is very promotional, and I'm not really sure a local historical society is notable enough to be here. Daniel Case 05:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete Some google hits, but none showing greater than of fairly local interest.
 * Delete. Looks to be more of a local interest page.  There's already a link to the City of Harvard page at Harvard, Illinois, making this information somewhat redundant as well.  --Kinu 06:04, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * History of a small town is important. If not here, where else should it be? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.75.178.127 (talk • contribs)
 * In the article about the small town, as suggested above. Daniel Case 14:16, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Three of us were scheduled to meet this morning to collaborate on the entry. I posted the shell (you call stub) last night so the others could read through and prepare their thoughts - and see how the system works.  We have cancelled our meeting - let us know how your vote turns out (or I guess the page will just disappear).  Does seem kind of strange that promotional is OK as long as it is "notable", and that Google is used as a gauge of worthiness.  --Mark 16:01, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Promotional is beside the point. The criteria is notability. If an article is promotional but the subject is notable, the stumping in the article will be removed but the article will remain. --Fuhghettaboutit 19:01, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment If not delete, then certainly rename. The quotes cause all sorts of problems. 68.39.174.238 19:32, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as the page name is formatted incorrectly and has no useful information on it as yet. As Daniel Case said, the most appropriate place for this information would be in the articles for the communities mentioned. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 22:32, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
