The result was   Withdrawn. Withdrawing because it's going to snow but I disagree that there's anything in this article that establishes notability. It exists, but that doesn't confer notability. StarM 00:34, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Graham Correctional Center

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Are all jails inherently notable? I find no evidence this one is. There are news mentions, which talk about vacancies at the jail and prisoners being sentenced there, but I don't find anything *about* the jail to establish notability. As a result, there's a stub with more tags than text. StarM 03:18, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep'  This is not a jail exactly, but a medium/high security prison with over 1500 inmates. Such institutions are major economic forces in their community, and information for notability will always be forthcoming. This does not apply to town lock-ups, nor to small work-camps.
 * Keep. There are news mentions of this jail; I found an article about an overcrowding problem and an article about a security breach in a news archive search. On this basis it passes WP:V, plus it's a decently-sized medium-security prison, which makes it notable enough. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 19:26, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Yes, I'd say that all prisons of any size are notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:10, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - I agree, facilities with close to 2000 inmates and a (1998) operating cost of $29,005,661 have a significant impact on the surrounding community and are thus notable.  Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  22:01, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
