Boston Housing Court

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

An editor removed the prod without reason. Only information is the address and hours, material not appropriate for Wikipedia. The main courthouse does not even have an article. External links are mainly about how to defend oneself if they were evicted. Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 20:54, 15 April 2010 (UTC) I redact my nomination for deletion because of sources, most importantly DreamFocus's. Admin, please close. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 14:20, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Courts and courthouses are maintained by WP:LAW. Can we try to rescue it? Bearian (talk) 22:29, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Being a stub is not a reason to delete and so there is no case to answer. I have added a citation to a 140 page study of this court to demonstrate the potential for improvement. Colonel Warden (talk) 06:25, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Now that the WP:NOTYELLOW content was removed, it looks like a valid stub that passes WP:LOCAL(essay) and possibly WP:GNG. The above study seems to contain significant coverage of the subject: "it examines the question of what additional judicial support is needed in the Boston Housing Court; and it examines the court in a comprehensive way, making recommendations in a number of areas". Google Books returns dozens of additional results, including "The Boston Housing Court: an institutional response to current problems of housing". — Rankiri (talk) 13:52, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Google news and Google books have plenty of hits. The most notable one that stands out is a book called A study of the Boston Housing Court By National Center for State Courts. The National Center for State Courts is quite notable, and they published a study on what is clearly a notable thing.   D r e a m Focus  05:56, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
