Fulford Harbour, British Columbia[edit]

Delete unsourced oneliner about a docking facility - not every place wher commercial boats can dock is notable - and this has no claim to notability. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 20:52, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is a badly written article, granted, but it's not just a docking facility — it's an actual residential settlement which has a ferry dock. Keep articles on real places; I'll do a bit of cleanup on it. Bearcat (talk) 21:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If it's a settlement, it's a keeper, but the article made no such assertion. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 21:53, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I said I'd do some cleanup on it... Bearcat (talk) 03:55, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The Atlas of Canada says it's a real place. --Eastmain (talk) 22:30, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is a locality within Capital F, British Columbia; as one will discover as one explores the CRD website from the link provided in that article. This site, FWIW, claims it has a population of 1200; although the Electoral Area itself (i.e., Saltspring Island) is the census-designated area, since all communities on Saltspring Island are unincorporated. fishhead64 (talk) 00:23, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Its a real place as Eastmain and fishhead shows and has a BC Ferries facility. That should make it notable. Artene50 (talk) 01:19, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It's a community, and a notable one at that. Communities with population (and even many with no population) are inherently notable by overwhelming precedent on Wikipedia (so much precedent that WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS does not apply). 23skidoo (talk) 14:10, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Concensus has been that real places are inherntly notable. Edward321 (talk) 23:56, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
