Stilwells

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Doesn't meet WP:GNG. Also, article says that was a hamlet shown on Hunterdon County maps between 1851 and 1902. However, this 1872 map of Hunterdon County ain't showing nothin' about no Stilwells hamlet. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 14:02, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment If it helps someone find anything (and I couldn't) all I found was a mention that it was located 1.5 miles south of Whitehouse Station. Ravendrop 22:40, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge - Merge to Stilwells, Readington Township, New Jersey. Several sources between the two articles.  --ChrisRuvolo (t) 15:00, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * That page now has an AfD notice on it which points to this discussion. Which article is up for deletion?  Jim Miller  See me 16:35, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
 * All post-AfD nomination created "Stilwell" content is up for deletion. After Stilwells was listed for deletion, Richard Arthur Norton made Stilwells a redirect and moved Stilwells to "Stilwells,New Jersey" (no space after comma), to "Stilwells, New Jersey" (space after comma), to "Stilwell, Readington Township, New Jersey" (no "s" at the end of Stilwell), and to Stilwells, Readington Township, New Jersey ("s" at the end of Stilwells). In the mean time, the original creator of the article, User:A1%, undid Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )'s redirect of Stilwells and then both Stilwells and Stilwells, Readington Township, New Jersey were edited. As of now, all "Stilwells" content is back in Stilwells. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 13:04, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Further on the nom, Stilwells was nothing more than what people back then called the private land owned by the Stilwells family to described who lived and worked there. The family lived in Readington. Readington is shown in this 1872 map, in the center of the map in peach color. Ravendrop above notes that Stilwells was located 1.5 miles south of Whitehouse Station. On the 1872 map, you can see White House Station, but the map does not show the Stilwells home. While the Stilwells home did exist, it has not been noticed enought to meet WP:N for a standalone article. Also, the topic already is covered by Readington_Township,_New_Jersey. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 13:19, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clearing that up.  Jim Miller  See me 15:06, 16 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Clearly a notable family, and the sources may be better used to work on articles about several of its notable members. The sources in the article don't provide sufficient evidence to me that this was ever a commonly used place name, nor do they support an independent article. There are no entries in my usual gazetteer sources for this name either. A small mention in the Readington article may be justifiable.  Jim Miller  See me 15:06, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per Jim Miller, and ensure all the redirects/forks are smoked as well. Given the user involved, however, this will end up at DRV regardless. Stifle (talk) 13:39, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
