West Virginia's oldest town

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article does not need a standalone page, per WP:NOPAGE. The articles is about a trivial state fact, and the information should instead be placed into other, more significant articles. There is a bit of info here, which should be added to the Shepherdstown, West Virginia and Romney, West Virginia articles, and this article deleted. Magnolia677 (talk) 02:01, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - unreferenced, and there's nothing here that can't be covered in the articles on the two different towns that claim this status. Fyddlestix (talk) 02:39, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom and Fyddlestix.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:50, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, add the information to the towns claiming the status and mention it in a sentence in the article on the state. Snowsuit Wearer (talk&#124;contribs) 14:56, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Makes much more sense to cover at the town articles, but delete rather than merge as the article is unsourced and I think it's bad practice to merge unsourced material. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 18:27, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
