No explanation for significance (if there is any), relies on one source. JamKaftan (talk) 18:48, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

• Deleteas not-notable, I'm surprised that one mention in a local website satisfies anybody enough to remove the csd.TheLongTone (talk) 18:53, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

• Keep This page should not be speedily deleted because I created it with the plan of additional research to be conducted later under the auspices of a Vassar College class, "Field Experiences in the Hudson Valley."

We are trying to get the stubs started so it will be easier for the students to develop them later. If there are suggestions for a better way to go about this, I would like to know, thanks. Baynard (talk) 19:22, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

• ::I'd like to support your teaching/learning effort. But any article out in "mainspace" is subject to review, i.e. to AFD as here, about whether the topic meets Wikipedia notability standard or not. Not every small business in the Hudson Valley is going to be notable, though I think this one is notable. So either each article needs to have enough sources upfront to establish notability clearly, or you may encounter more AFD processes and have to respond, or you could start the articles in "userspace", e.g. at User:Baynard/Field Apothecary. And only move (which you can do yourself, under Move tab) to mainspace (e.g. to Field Apothecary) when you feel that notability is clear. After a move, the previous location would redirect to the new location. Maybe you could have all your articles indexed, listed, from one userpage, e.g. User:Baynard/Course list of articles. If I were you, i might personally kinda like to develop them in mainspace, so students get to see other editors coming by and adding categories and word-smithing and so on. Usually no one else will contribute to an article in userspace. If you post to my Talk page about any of your stub articles, or point me to a list of them, i would be happy to try to develop them just enough to try to avoid their being nominated for deletion. But even if an article was AFD'd and the decision was to Delete, you could still get a copy of the article "userfied", i.e. put into your userspace, so an AFD process is not that terrible. Hope this helps. --doncram 22:30, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

• Keep. The Rural Intelligence article alone seems good enough to establish notability for me. I think references were added, after someone commented that there was just one reference above. Keep. --doncram 04:50, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

• Keep - Agree with Doncram. It appears to be a physical example of a CSA. The article needs to be developed (if Wiki does not want to keep the article then perhaps redirect to CSA and add it too that article).
