It was previously nominated for deletion, but was closed as no consensus. The page reads like an ad and fails WP:COMPANY. Scorpion0422 03:39, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Not sure why it wasnt deleted last time.  People saying "its notable" without backing it up with reliable sources does not establish notability Corpx (talk) 07:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete There are thousands of co-ops in North America, nothing in this article establishes what is so special about this one. Beeblbrox (talk) 09:33, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * comment just read the archive from the first nomination, seems like "by the standards of Norfolk County, Ontario it is notable" is the only reason anyone could come up with to keep this. Beeblbrox (talk) 09:37, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and remove the redirect from Norfolk FS as well. If the current name isn't notable enough for its own article, and merely redirects here, there can't be much notability. Jim Miller (talk) 13:58, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment After looking a little further, it seems clear that this article is just a tiny part of a very large problem. There are over 100 separate entries on the various "features" of Norfolk county, including every single tiny hamlet, cemetery, and school, including 10 schools that are not even in operation any more. In short, probably about 95 articles in all that fail on notability as badly, or worse than this article.Beeblbrox (talk) 00:42, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree, I mean Andy's Corners is a tiny little place that could be merged with Langton, Ontario. Many of these articles were created by the same user, and I'm slowly working on getting rid of some of them. -- Scorpion0422 00:54, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * the places should be kept independently unless they are neighborhoods only--it is well established that every hamlet is notable. But most of the schools and cemeteries and so onc can be merged without having to bring them here. DGG (talk) 01:21, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * These places are more than just mere neighborhoods. These are full-fledged communities, even if they are just merely hamlets. I will not re-attempt to write the article about Andy's Corners, Ontario. However, you must leave all other articles related to Norfolk County alone, Scorpion0422.

 * And why is that? If they don't meet notability requirements, then they don't meet notability requirements. -- Scorpion0422 16:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)


 * comment I don't pretend to know the first thing about any part of Norfolk county, but the way it's covered on Wikipedia, you would think it's the center of the universe. The fact is that there is an overabundance of articles about Norfolk County that are poorly referenced and have no reasonable claim of notability. I don't think a hundred separate AfD debates are the answer, but there is clearly a problem here that needs solving.Beeblbrox (talk) 19:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
