Green Bay (town), Wisconsin

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

There is only one Green Bay in Brown County, and that's the city that sits at the mouth of the Fox River! There is no town to the northeast of the City of Green Bay that bears the same name. This article is immaterial because its subject does not exist Jsmeall10 (talk) 16:49, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Apparently you do not understand the units of government in Wisconsin. There are cities, villages, towns, and unincorporated communities. The city of Green Bay is the place that the Packers reside in. Then there are towns. Towns are subdivisions of a county. They are the unincorporated land (land not within a corporated area which are cities and villages). They are approximately 10 miles north/south by 10 miles east/west. This article is about the unincorporated town in the county, not about the city. There are about 1250 towns in the state of Wisconsin. Why arbitrarily delete content from a town just because it happens to have the same name as a policitally-separate city? It has it's own separate government - laws from the town do not apply to the city.  Royal broil  20:36, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * To prove that it exists, click here and click the "Green Bay, Town of, Brown Co." link to read a short article about it in the Wisconsin Historical Society.  Royal broil  20:48, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, first edit by a new account is to nominate an article for deletion. I've been discussing a similar situation with someone else recently. In fact, several people have brought up very similar issues in the past few months.  Royal broil  20:45, 23 October 2008 (UTC)


 * KeepThe town of Green Bay is not adjacent to the city of Green Bay.The town of Green Bay has its own website.You need to read the political subdivisions of Wisconsin to understand the local government in Wisconsin.Thank you-RFD (talk) 20:57, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep The nomination has no merit. Upsetting and confusing as the situation may seem to the nominator, the Town of Green Bay and the City of Green Bay are two separate and distinct places and both deserve their own articles. --Orlady (talk) 21:03, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep, the nominator is quite mistaken. older ≠ wiser 21:54, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
