The result was Keep (non-admin closure). Inherently notable. Process is good, but this is just plain common sense rather than WP:SNOW. WilliamH (talk) 21:41, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Canton of Grand-Bourg

To short, non notable, nonsense Hellboy2hell (talk) 11:20, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - its a stub - so too short isn't a good argument. It's not nonsense its the way electoral areas are designated in France (and its overseas departments) and I think places / government areas are meant to have some sort of inherent notability in policy terms. There's also an awful lot more of them Category:Cantons of France btw. -Hunting dog (talk) 11:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Although, I agree that one-line articles shouldn't be encouraged. If places are automatically notable through policy and this is a real place than it desperately needs expanding and not deleting. Jasynnash2 (talk) 13:10, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as creator. Believe it or not, I'm usually with Jasynnash2 on this sort of thing. But there's plenty of precedent for this sort of article being acceptable, and I think it's at the very least a good, necessary start, geographically-speaking. --User:AlbertHerring ^{Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla!} 17:24, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - A Canton is a political entity, kind of like a township or county (depending on the locality) which are inherently notable. An article on a notably topic eing a stub is not a reason for deletion, it's reason for a request for expansion. --Oakshade (talk) 18:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Inherently notable, and can definitely be improved. At the very least, certainly not nonsense. Maxa megalon 2000 19:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
