Ballydougan
NN place, article consistes mainly of advertisment for "Ballydougan Pottery", famous resident botanist has no Google hits Optimale  Gu 09:19, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep all real places, but for Lords sake rewrite! Jcuk 11:04, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Weak excuse for advertising; WP is not a marketing channel. If someone wants to write a real article about the place they can, but deleting this version won't set them back at all. Paddles 11:15, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Changing vote to Speedy keep after Capitalistroadster's rewrite. Paddles 12:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep per Jcuk. Some with better info than the web provides needs to rewrite it though. Kevin 12:57, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete since there is nothing here which could be used in an encyclopaedic article about the place, plus it contains an attack (I'd better go and remove that). No prejudice against creation of a proper article later. Just zis Guy you know? 15:25, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Easy keep rewrite by Capitalistroadster. Gold star that man! Just zis Guy you know? 08:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete no encyclopedic value, sounds like a brochure, obvious subjective writing. --Crossmr 17:50, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I have rewritten this article based on What Links Here and a reference to the pottery in the Northern Island Yearbook. It is a real place with real communities of interest and thus should be kept. However, it seems to be in County Armagh rather than County Down. Capitalistroadster 21:58, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep based on rewrite by Cap. RasputinAXP   c  22:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - we shouldn't be deleting articles about towns just because they're badly written . with the rewrite now reads as a standard town stub with some interesting history to be expanded on Peripitus 01:39, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment as it is now a completely new article thanks to Capitalistroadster I also think this AfD should be closed with a Speedy keep Optimale  Gu 11:16, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Can't have a speedy keep while there are still any outstanding delete votes. Stifle (talk) 18:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep as per Optimale. --User:BrownHairedGirl (talk • contribs) 15:04, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
