Poverty in Fairfax County, Virginia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Topic is not sufficiently notable to merit its own article. The issue of poverty in Fairfax County is hardly noteworthy compared to poverty in most other US cities/counties (including many smaller jurisdictions). This article's only sources are the US Census Bureau, Fairfax County, and the "Phoenix Project" (a local nonprofit). The article also seems to have a bit of a NPOV issue (especially being written by only one author). Some mention of this topic in Fairfax County, Virginia should be sufficient. scooteytalk 03:38, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Not really an independent topic, but an aspect of Fairfax County, Virginia. Note also that the figures, which are the main material of the article, will change every year.  So a new article will have to be written every year..."Poverty in Fairfax County, Virginia in 2012", "Poverty in Fairfax County, Virginia in 2013", etc. Kitfoxxe (talk) 03:46, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Too specific to be an encyclopedia article, more like a personal essay. Also like User:Kitfoffxe said above, it would have to be rewritten every year. J I P  &#124; Talk 04:42, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I actually said that a new article would need to be written each year. If poverty in 2012 was notable in 2012 it will still be notable in 2013, so a new article on poverty in 2013 will also be needed. Kitfoxxe (talk) 15:52, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Non-encyclopedic essay. This would be wonderful information to publish and keep up to date, somewhere else. RadioFan (talk) 03:37, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Scope of the article is ridiculously small. An article on Poverty in Virginia is encyclopedic, but an article on a single county is not.-- xanchester  (t)  12:20, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is clearly an essay and non-encyclopedic. Merge whatever can be salvaged with Fairfax County, Virginia. -- NINTENDUDE 64 04:28, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
