Simcoe Public Library

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails WP:N, very few sources available for any information on this article except the one I found with the building history. One of the five branches of the Norfolk County Public Library (possibly the main branch). Would suggest a merge, but the library system itself has no article.

 * Keep for lack of better alternative. The library building at 46 Colborne St is a registered historic property according to Ontario records as the former Norfolk County Jail. The Simcoe Public Library holds the place name. • Gene93k (talk) 08:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Your Google-fu is stronger than mine tonight ;) I was looking to see if it had historical significance because of its age, but hadn't found that. I was thinking of suggesting renaming to Norfolk County Public Library and adding in the other branch info, but since it is a registered historical place, I believe that makes it an automatic keep and keep separate?

 * Change of vote: no objection to a move/repurpose per Bearcat. • Gene93k (talk) 05:36, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete... unless I see notability. The information above is interesting but does not seem to actually establish notability for the library as it stands today. Nor is there even an attempt in the article itself to do so. Epthorn (talk) 18:31, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * This article, as written, is basically a five-line stub. Move to an article about the library system as a whole, adding information on the other branches. There's no reason why that article can't note and discuss the Simcoe branch's historic status. We don't even have separate articles on individual branches of the Toronto Public Library, which is a much larger system that also has several historic branches.

 * Move to Norfolk County Public Library, per Bearcat, and re-purpose the article to the library system instead of this particular branch. Mind  matrix  01:34, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Move/Rename - seems like the best way to allow future growth of this article. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  07:35, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
