The Worst Towns in the U.S.A.
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – ([The Worst Towns in the U.S.A. (first nomination)]) (View log)

Orphaned article, no assertion of notability, book author has no wiki article, primarily a list of cities grouped together on a POV basis. Tomdobb (talk) 17:29, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:NB, no secondary source coverage, awards, etc. KnightLago (talk) 18:56, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * In researching further I found one single mention here from the Wilkes Barre Times Leader. KnightLago (talk) 19:21, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Why is this the second nomination, where is a link to the first? I'd like to read those comments.  Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 20:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The first nomination was when the article was titled slightly different. It's located here. Part of the reason I put it up for nomination again was there were so few comments on the original nom and because the article seems to not have significant updating since then.Tomdobb (talk) 20:41, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete I was having the same trouble in trying to link that first debate. If the book had been notable, it might be an interesting article.  It doesn't appear that anybody wanted to shell out a bunch of pounds sterling to find out why some foreign guy didn't like these particular places.  Mandsford (talk) 21:01, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Any other secondary sources? -- Shark face  217  03:24, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Neutral Could add more references, and possibly also could rank the cities from least to worst!! Dwilso (talk) 03:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It doesn't appear that the book is organized that way. Apparently, it is a state-by-state guide with Author Crow listing cities both small and large; without knowing what pissed Mr. Crow off about Beverly Hills, or Cheshire, Ohio, the article itself is useless in the extreme.

 * Speedy delete  Not hing 4 44  20:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, there doesn't appear to be enough secondary sources to establish notability for this book. I also agree that without knowing why the author didn't like these towns, the article is somewhat useless.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC).


 * Delete as per nom and KnightLago. BWH76 (talk) 15:43, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
