Adelphi Mill Bollington
Delete or Merge with Bollington, does not appear to be notable besides being a local landmark.Ganymead 04:13, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge sounds good. Radiant_* 09:41, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Major local landmark, also industrial history site.  This has potential and should be kept as a stub. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:32, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge History of the site can be found here. The mill was built in mid-nineteenth century, and used as mill for about a hundred years. Hundreds of sites match that description. Dsmdgold 01:35, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * keep, for potential to expand and to aid categorization. Kappa 17:21, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable industrial site. Klonimus 01:06, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article does not establish notability. Gamaliel 09:35, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
 * STRONG KEEP, perhaps rename to "Adelphi Mill (Bollington)" as there is one in Maryland as well. It obviously has some years of history behind it, why not leave it there for someone who knows some of that history to expand it? Most historians (especially local historians) don't even know that Wikipedia exists.  Keeping articles like this encourages them by giving them starting points for their contributions.  We should be focused on involving people.  Deleting articles like this will make local historians feel unwelcome, as if their contributions aren't worthy.  --Unfocused 16:44, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Five edits, four to VFD.


 * Delete not worthy of an encyclopedia entry. --Mecanismo 20:45, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Bollington. Jayjg (talk) 21:51, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
