Madison Community Cooperative

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

Delete. MCC is encyclopeadically non-notable, and this article is constantly being filled with unciteable assertions, OR, references to primary sources, and trivia. It listed a prod tag for three days, and a prod2 tag for most of that.  LOL thulu  16:19, 17 January 2009 (UTC) 
 * Comment I was about to oppose deletion and say that Madison is a big city and the article could probably be cleaned up into something decent. But after looking more closely, it looks like the organization is just run by residents, rather than its own administration, so I think it's probably not-notable, as stated by the nominator.

 * Weak Keep I usually !vote for the deletion of articles on student dorms and co-residences and the like, but t his seems to be an acceptable combination page. A cooperative by its very nature is run by its members.DGG (talk) 18:31, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I just removed as much rubbish from the article as possible as it may be notable but it was horribly written. Seems to be mostly self-referencing though PanydThe muffin is not subtle 20:53, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:02, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep--I'm going to vote 'keep' also here, since it appears that this cooperative does have notability. If anyone has access to their local newspapers, there's almost 15 years of coverage in a dozen or more articles. Drmies (talk) 01:10, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
