Compton_County,_Quebec
This page is composed of geographical banter. I didn't see that it could be cleaned up, as the interesting bits belong in other topics. What is written here could be shown with a single .jpg of a map, which would leave no content at all. Jok2000 14:54, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Terrible article in dire need of cleanup, but it exists and is notable. Trilobite (Talk) 15:27, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Needs a fair bit of trimming and cleanup, but content and article are perfectly valid. -- sjorford &rarr;&bull;&larr; 15:58, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and hope someone will provide a map which would replace about 80% of the article. -- RWH 17:12, 2005 Feb 16 (UTC)
 * Keep, I cleaned it up, it'll grow. Wyss 18:48, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep all real places. RickK 00:03, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and Expand. Thanks to Wyss for his efforts. Capitalistroadster 09:41, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep --Spinboy 20:19, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Even historic counties which no longer exist in their old form merit articles; it's not at all difficult to imagine somebody needing information about the former Compton County (eg. genealogical or political research, etc.) who would be very well-served by even a short article explaining how the county was redistributed among Quebec's modern MRCs.

 * Keep, obviously. I thought the Karygiannis listing was silly, but this tops it.  CJCurrie 00:49, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Duh, keep. &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 11:28, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
