11th parallel south

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

No claim of notability made. Cerejota (talk) 12:10, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * See Articles for deletion/104th meridian east for prior discussion of meridians and parallels. Also note that claiming notability is merely a formula for judging whether a person or group should be discussed at AFD and not be subject to speedy deletion.  It is not a deletion rationale under Deletion policy, and does not even apply outside of the specific classes of articles listed at Criteria for speedy deletion.

 * Keep Appears on thousands of world atlases, which seems to indicate notability to me. JulesH (talk) 13:00, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep As creator of the article, I echo the above arguments for keeping, in particular the precedent of 104th meridian east which indicates that people want this sort of article in Wikipedia. Bazonka (talk) 14:39, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems fine to me, a typical almanac table. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 15:38, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep We include information that can be gotten from maps just as verbal sources. This set of articles is appropriate for a comprehensive encyclopedia. There are many valid ways or organizing and systematizing information. Summarizing graphical information in words is a valid approach to articles, for many reasons, including universal access.

 * Delete Lines of latitude are not automatically notable. No signs of notability and no sources.  TJ   Spyke   17:41, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Sources added. Bazonka (talk) 23:43, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep per same arguments of inherent notability referred to in "11th parallel north" Mandsford (talk) 19:24, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Move to List of territories running through the 11th parallel south, the page is not an article about the topic and I doubt an article would be possible given the lack of sourcing, "11th parallel south" gives 7 Google hits two of which are from Wikipedia.

 * Of course it's about the topic. It's a new article though - other information is yet to be added. Bazonka (talk) 15:27, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - Other parallels nominated for deletion on 2nd Jan have already been marked as Keep (e.g. 12th parallel north) - I'm not sure why this one hasn't. I'd like to point out to the administrator who reviews this that 11th parallel south is no more or less notable than those ones.  All should be treated the same.  The only difference that I can see is that this one is nearer the top of the AFD list and so has received more comments. Bazonka (talk) 12:01, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
