Scouting in Georgia
This was one of many articles in the list of this AfD, which I closed as Delete all. However, I am uncomfortable with deleting this article along with all the others because it's a different cookie from the other articles I deleted. The article as it stands needs some serious work, but with similarly-named articles such as Scouting in California, I think this needs to be relisted on its own rather than be one entry in an AfD of many. No vote from me. --Deathphoenix 02:42, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Don't delete, could use some help in salvaging it-when those of us at the Scouting WikiProject saw what was happening with the Articles for deletion/List of BSA local Order of the Arrow (OA) lodges, we decided that the time was overdue to convert the Council lists into state articles, as we had been discussing and which we are in the process of doing. Someone has put in all sorts of work here, but not encyclopedically, including use of ALL CAPS*yuck*. There are similar articles now for each state, I'd love to have some help in cleanup.

 * Keep per advice of relevent WikiProject. Jkelly 03:39, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup per Kintetsubuffalo. The task of cleaning it up appears to have started. Capitalistroadster 04:28, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep, as article has counterparts for every single state. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 04:48, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep and massive cleanup - the massive list of districts isn't encyclopedic. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 05:17, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: A "Speedy keep" means that the AfD was nominated in bad faith. I assure you, it was not. Please just let the AfD run its course, though it seems likely this article will be kept. --Deathphoenix 06:26, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: according to Speedy keep, this can also be done when the nominator withdraws the nomination and there have been no delete votes (could be applied here) or if the nominator states that they support a keep/rename/merge/move/redirect. I voted for Speedy keep in the hope that we could end the discussion early based on a very obvious criterion for inclusion. I hope you took no offense to this, as I know the nomination was certainly in good faith, and was not implying otherwise. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 06:34, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Let the US members of the Wikiproject Scouting have time to sort this out. It can not be done overnight. Perhaps the nominator, who I agree put this up in good faith, could simply withdraw the nomination. --Bduke 06:54, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I have no objections to that. --Deathphoenix 12:52, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. --Ter e nce Ong (恭喜发财) 08:26, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
