Monrovia, Maryland
In truth, I don't understand this entry. If it is a defined parish or village it is notable. However if, as it seems, it is an informal description of a suburb of a city it is unencyclopaedic and should be deleted. BlueValour 00:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. An unincorporated place is the equivalent of a village, but municipal services such as policing are provided by the county rather than by a municipality. I think it has well-defined borders and most of the characteristics of a municipality except that it lacks a city charter. --TruthbringerToronto 00:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)


 * A Google search produces quite a number of hits. It may not be the most important place in the world, but since Wikipedia has articles on numerous other tiny villages, I say Keep Travelbird 00:56, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I believe articles on unincorporated areas are okay. --Mr. L e fty Talk to me! 01:16, 29 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep Monrovia is the equivalent to a small town in terms of having its own zip code, post office, and other local services. The county (Frederick County) provides other services, as is the case for a large number of towns in Maryland.--Ravensfan5252 02:09, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as real place with real communities of interest.Capitalistroadster 02:13, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
