Brandon Regional Library

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The library doesn't assert notability beyond your typical city library. All all libraries, like all high schools, considered notable by their existence, or are they held to the general standard? (I don't mean to raise the can of worms with WP:SCHOOL, but I'm interested in the comparison between schools and libraries. YechielMan 05:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into its community's article, but don't delete so that the article name stays available in case the library becomes notable. I've been thinking about the differences between libraries and schools, and the arguments I'd use for high schools I wouldn't use for libraries. Let them prove notability like any other subject. The material in the article would be a fine section in a town or city article. Noroton 06:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Libraries are not inherently notable, this article does not make a strong case for notability or cite independent sources, and there is not enough content to warrant a merge. --Metropolitan90 07:03, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Brandon, Florida. Not a particularily famous or important library on a worldwide basis, and the article is only a paragraph long, but still covering the various cultural and educational institutions within the community article is valid. (For comparison, I'll mention that the library system in Oslo, Deichmanske Bibliotek has a separate article in my Norwegian paper encyclopedia, and in this encyclopedia but that is a city-wide system of libraries, not a single building.)

 * Would probably work best in Hillsborough County Public Library Cooperative, I think the regional library systems are generally going to all have articles eventually. Mention in the town or just redirect until then, to preserve history. --W.marsh 14:27, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete this as a topic not suitable for an encyclopedia. Maybe an extended yellow pages wiki could make use of this article. Mr. Berry 07:08, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as absolutely nothing notable is even hinted at. In the extremely unlikely event that this library becomes notable, the name can be resurrected. There's no point holding article names for the indefinite future. (As for a suggestion above, I think an article on the country library cooperative would have exactly the same problem. I certainly would support an effort to examine very critically articles on regional library systems below the state or large metropolitan area level, though there are a few that are indeed notable. (The only two I can think of offhand is Hennepin County Library, which needs an article--but in the meantime see Sanford Berman, and the Brooklyn Public Library. ) DGG 00:03, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * LEAVE THIS ARTICE ALONE! - User:Prince of History I removed the more lengthy diatribe, which I considered inappropriate for a civil discussion. YechielMan 01:14, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Brandon, Florida per Sjakkalle and others. Burntsauce 17:58, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
