Non-notable Australian town, it has only fewer than 1,000 of its population. ApprenticeFan talk contribs 11:14, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletion discussions. -- TexasAndroid (talk) 12:15, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep of course. -- Mattinbgn\talk 12:17, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep as a fundamentally encyclopaedic subject - Peripitus (Talk) 12:28, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep Real towns are inherently notable. Edward321 (talk) 13:25, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep No such thing as a non-notable town.--Cube lurker (talk) 13:29, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep, per long-standing policy that every inhabited place is considered "notable" for Wikipedia. Although the original stub was written by an editor whose only other contribution was vandalism, the article has been improved and now merits inclusion on WP. Mindmatrix 14:10, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep A locality with a recorded history of over 170 years. Subject of a couple of books, A Century of Education at Strath Creek 1892-1992 and Whispers in the Valley: A View of Strath Creek From 1838. There will also be the inevitable trail of public records and newspaper articles associated with a locality with ~400 people over such a period. Melburnian (talk) 15:01, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep - verifiably real settlements are inherently notable per long-standing consensus. Melburnian's comment demonstrates that this is more notable than many other similar-sized localties. Thryduulf (talk) 15:38, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep: Nominator has made valid contributions to AfD before, so this is probably a case of hasty nominating and/or a result of not realising that towns are inherently notable. Mr_pand [talk | contributions] 19:39, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
