Solar power in Alameda County

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

Not a notable topic, seems like an advertisement Troyster87 (talk) 08:13, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with Santa Rita Jail. This article mainly consists of material that should be there (including a source that is better used to reference the entry on the jail). - Mgm|(talk) 12:58, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is one of a series of articles relating to Solar power in the United States. It discusses "one of the largest solar roofs in the United States" and so is notable.  It is encyclopedic and obviously not an advertisement. There is no point in burying this material in Santa Rita Jail, and the source referenced is about clean technology, not the jail.

 * Then it should be renamed largest solar roof in united states. solar power in alameda county is not notable.Troyster87 (talk) 23:25, 4 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. The title of the article was structured to include not just the solar panels on the jail, but all aspects of solar power in Alameda County, which is a huge county, something like Suffolk County on Long Island. Being in the Bay Area, it is right next to silicon valley (Santa Clara County), and you can expect a lot of solar projects there. I will look for some other bits that can be included.

 * There is no content on anything other than the santa rita solar roofTroyster87 (talk) 23:25, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Look again. Apteva (talk) 00:33, 5 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. I'd prefer to see articles about solar power by state rather than county to avoid getting masses of articles, but it passed the concerns I had before. (Next time: write the article before putting it live to avoid votes like the one I made above). - Mgm|(talk) 10:04, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * comment again how is this topic notable? one of the largest foortop solar systems, cite that? and if so, why is one of the largest notable, shouldnt just the largest be of note. there is no state level article either. there is no precedent for this kind of article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Troyster87 (talk • contribs) 22:17, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
