Rensselaer County Legislature

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

Run of the mill. Yes, you can find plenty of reliable secondary sources, but there are 3,140 other county governments that are in the same boat. This is an average, non-notable county, as far as counties go. Gigs (talk) 01:12, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per above.  The scope of notability for something like this is so narrow that it doesn't warrant inclusion to WP Corpx (talk) 02:34, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I think everything here is already covered in Rensselaer County. Grandmartin11 (talk) 17:25, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Rensselaer County, New York. The relevant information already exixts in Wikipedia so a redirect is in order as a plausible search term. -- Whpq (talk) 20:11, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Selective merge and redirect as above. I disagree with the nominator's citing of the WP:MILL essay, which lists good examples of genuinely unencyclopedic topics such as unexceptional streets and shops, and is not an agreed guideline. Remember that this is an encyclopedia, not the Guinness Book of records, so we don't only cover the exceptional cases, and we are not paper. If every member of a particular class of topic is notable then we have room for articles on all them (e.g. named species). In this case, however, nearly all of the encyclopedic information here is already covered in Rensselaer County, New York, and that article is by no means too long, so we can merge in anything here that is encyclopedic and not already in the county article (by which I mean one or two sentences from the history section, not the recent events) and have this covered in context.
