Hangon rationale

This article should not be deleted. It is a stub. The content is verifiable and states facts. It is not advertising. The Port itself is a governmental district, like a school district. The article is for public education. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Portsh (talk • contribs) 09:56, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How does this subject sufficiently pass WP:N? --13² 18:29, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article only needs to assert importance to avoid speedy deletion. A governmental district is a good faith assertion of importance. If not notable, prod or AfD are the way to go.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:51, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt this article would be deleted in AfD in a million years. The subject is going to have a ton of media coverage just because of what it is (and it does, as a quick Gnews search will verify). Arguing whether it's notable is almost like arguing whether the Sun is notable. I agree that I'm not happy about the way it was created (clearly a COI violation) but now that it's here, it's unlikely to go away. In time I'm sure some uninvolved, neutral editors will expand it properly and it will be a good addition to the project. -- Atama ^chat 01:10, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, I wasn't even the one who speedied it. I just noticed the user's message and decided to respond. I have no feelings either way on this article and wouldn't AFD it or vote on an AFD for it. --13² 15:34, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
