The result was   keep - It does need expanding but that's not a reason to delete, I echo below - Lack of content is not lack of notability. (non-admin closure) – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  17:48, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

National Archives of Austria

This article does not say anything about the national archives of Austria except that they exist. All the information is links. Wikipedia is not a directory. The article is also not very coherent. ubiquity (talk) 15:24, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep, possibly Speedy keep for invalid grounds for deletion? I've linked the article to the 3 articles on other versions of Wikipedia. This is a case of poor execution and should at worst have been templated for expansion from German (as requested on the article talkpage), categories, and references. A basic WP:BEFORE search would have turned up the many sources on the German page, but in any case as a major national institution it has a presumption of notability. The state of the page when nominated is not indicative of the notability of the topic, and it's the latter that decides whether it should be included. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:21, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. National archives are notable government agencies. And stubs are fine as articles. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:30, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Lack of content is not lack of notability. It would be more useful to target articles with insufficient content with research and improvements rather than target them for deletion. --Lquilter (talk) 17:29, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
