 * Keep. No real reason has been given for deletion. The criterion is quite specific, not indiscriminate, and lack of sourcing can be fixed. Why single Jackson out among the many, many such lists? Clarityfiend (talk) 10:46, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep this list is hardly indiscriminate. Lepricavark (talk) 15:45, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Being a "hero in the war of 1812"--which the US started with us and lost--is hardly going to recommend him to me, as a Canadian Wikipedian. Nor is Trump's efforts to brand himself alongside him. But I don't see why we'd single Jackson out at Category:Lists of places named after people, whatever the issues. Keep Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:54, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - Naming is a pretty interesting, political, and social process, and a list of this sort when there are many places named after an individual seems encyclopedic and useful. Smmurphy(Talk) 17:15, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not indiscriminate, this list is a valid spinoff from the section of Andrew Jackson on Memorials. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:38, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep -- We do not allow categories for this kind of thing, but I see no objection to a list. However, Middle and Primary schools are generally NN and should either be de-linked of linked to a list article for education in their area, or their education board.  This is to discourage the creation of articles on NN subjects.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:13, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
