Bonanza, Alberta

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This short article was added with the assumption that it is a hamlet in Alberta. After a recent review of which settlements are actually hamlets, it was found that this community is not currently registered by Alberta as a hamlet, if it ever was. I propose that this article be deleted as it is short, and not notable. 117Avenue (talk) 23:14, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - It does seem to be the name of an entire region of Alberta which has a spread out population. Google books indicates many descriptions of this town due to its mineral deposits, hence the name "Bonanza."  --Oakshade (talk) 01:41, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Then its significance should be explained. 117Avenue (talk) 00:42, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * While a small settlement may, if not easily referenceable, be redirected to another topic, such as a larger municipality that it's part of, no size of settlement is ever deleted from Wikipedia as being insufficiently notable. The only grounds for deleting a named settlement would be if there weren't any evidence that it even existed in the first place. If there's a viable redirect target, then consider redirecting; but otherwise, keep per Qyd. Bearcat (talk) 03:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
