Air Raid in Cheadle Stockport[edit]

Non-notable story of a WW II air raid. Copyvio anyway. (Recording the victims names on the war memorial is unusual but it does not justify an whole article. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 21:12, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Addhoc (talk) 21:15, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Cheadle, Greater Manchester, without the possible copyvio quote - a paragraph there in the History section should be fine for it. — alex.muller (talk • edits) 21:17, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
[Keep presumably]. It may be non-notable to you but not to the people of Cheadle or the people who lost their lives! I would be grateful if you would reconsider with any help you could offer.--Seville3636 (talk) 21:20, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The help is: as above, add a brief note in the Cheadle article and provide a link to the Cheadle War Memorial pages - yours? -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 21:24, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It was evidently notable as we can see from the memorial and book. Notability is not the same thing as importance. Colonel Warden (talk) 21:42, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep I agree with Seville3636, but would also be agreeable to the Merge suggestion of Alex.muller.--InDeBiz1 (talk) 21:53, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Alex.muller. There were thousands of air raids in WWII. Wikipedia is WP:NOT#MEMORIAL. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:55, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Smerge a brief mention into Cheadle, Greater Manchester. There is no evidence this particular air raid had any wider importance. --Dhartung | Talk 23:04, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Smerge a brief mention into Cheadle, Greater Manchester. There weere many air raids in WW2. No evidence this one was notable. Edison (talk) 03:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge It certainly can't stay here as a word for word type out from the book. ALLSTARecho 04:07, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ If I was to get rid of the large quote and put the wording differently would this make a difference?--Seville3636 (talk) 19:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please only vote once. The issue is not how the article is worded or written (mostly), it's whether it is notable enough to have an article. You're free to reword it as you wish for the time being, just as anyone is free to edit any article on Wikipedia. — alex.muller (talk • edits) 21:09, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, quite non-notable as mentioned. Also it seems to be just copied and pasted from somewhere...Its all from one book it says itself- surely this would be against copyright laws?--Him and a dog 19:48, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
