Transport in Jamaica

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

Unencyclopedic; simply a list of facts which violates WP:IINFO – Dream out loud (talk) 16:36, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - This is an important article, just not correctly done. You should ask someone who knows a lot about Jamaica to expand the article. -- Meldshal   (§peak to me)  16:38, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Easily expanded and improved, as an editor with a background in creating and improving transport articles should have recognized. I just expanded it myself using the main Jamaica article, and it probaly took less time than to file an AFD! I'm very disappointed he didn't even try to improve the article, or at least tag it appropriately, and try to bring it to the attention of others who might be able to improve it. AFDs are not intend for those purposes. - BillCJ (talk) 17:41, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Transport on an island of over 2 and half million people is encyclopedic. As it stands now, it's much more than a "list" but a written description of this important topic. --Oakshade (talk) 19:35, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Strong keep -- This is as yet a somewhat poor article, but that is a reason to tag it for improvement, not to delete it. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:20, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article has been substantially improved since the nomination. Transport in a country of any significant size can easily provide the material to make an encyclopedic article. • Gene93k (talk) 21:22, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep First, dozens of similar articles exist, so it's not a violation of WP:IINFO. Second, just because an article is in poor condition doesn't mean you should delete it. Consider asking someone at a related WikiProject (WP:HWY, etc). Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  21:50, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
