Warner elevator row

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The "Warner elevator row" is not officially designated a provincial or national historic site. Being considered historic at the local level does not confer notability, and no reliable source is provided to confirm notability otherwise beyond local area. The only reference in the article is for the Alberta Pacific Elevator Co. Ltd. at Raley, which is not part of Warner elevator row and not even on the register of provincial historic sites itself. It is simply an entry in the lesser Alberta Heritage Survey Program. This good faith creation simply is not notable.

''Note: This and similar articles were PRODed and no objections were received within seven days, but this and the others were objected shortly thereafter before they were reviewed by an admin, hence this now being an AfD. The reason for the objection was "Because the articles seem to have merit". '' Hwy43 (talk) 21:23, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep The topic is notable per the WP:GNG - see Preserving prairie cathedrals, for example. Andrew D. (talk) 21:54, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep I have added several references to the article. As well, there is certainly an article about these elevators in one of Jim Pearson's three "Vanishing Sentinals" books, but because they are not on line I don't know which one. The article needs some editing to be more neutral, and when Pearson's book is found a check for copyright problems should be made.&mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 14:51, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. The prairies had elevators, located in towns. Vulcan had more. 117Avenue (talk) 04:09, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
 * 117Avenue, so the deletion rationale is this topic fails GNG because Vulcan had more elevators? --Oakshade (talk) 19:20, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * It fails notability because it is a common occurrence, and there are no other articles on the subject. 117Avenue (talk) 02:46, 2 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep per the sources provided by Anne Delong and Andrew D. The National Post article indicates the notability is national, not just local. --Oakshade (talk) 05:45, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep With good sources, good images, and an interesting topic, this is a strong keep!--DThomsen8 (talk) 19:07, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as this seems acceptable. SwisterTwister   talk  06:43, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
