List of filling stations in Martha's Vineyard

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A year or two ago this would have been speedied within two minutes. In order to be politically correct and so as "not to offend" article creators we now seemingly tolerate it.. A list of gas stations in Martha's Vineyard has and never will be even remotely encyclopedic and it is waste of time even trying to pretend that it is... Not a Directory. I do assume good faith on the article creator but this is quite possibly one of the least notable lists I've ever seen, and I've seen some ones in my time!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:29, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. Not notable at all, WP:DIRECTORY.  :.:∙:∙∙:∙:.:&#124; pepper &#124; :.:∙:∙∙:∙:.:   12:36, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a directory. If it were a list of tourist attractions, the story would be different, but filling stations are not significant geographical features which need coverage in an encyclopedia. Sjakkalle (Check!)  12:40, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete As clear a case of "Wikipedia is not a directory" as I can imagine. As a list of the ten places where one can buy gasoline on an island, it's not even useful, other than if you have a Mobil credit card, consider staying near Edgartown.  Obviously, if you're on the island and have access to the internet, you'll be looking for gas stations, restaurants, bordellos, etc. on Google or Bing-- and you'll get directions.  If you don't have your BlackBerry, ask the old man wearing the fishing hat... Mandsford 14:03, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete and agree it should have been speedied. --Quartermaster (talk) 14:59, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'd say screw offense and just speedy it now. We're not a travel guide or directory for services. Tarc (talk) 15:30, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - there's no need for it at all. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:46, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
