Xavier, Kansas (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Razorflame has nominated this page for deletion for the reason:

I am requesting the deletion of this page as I cannot find a single reliable source for this article after looking in Google for the past five minutes. This raises major problems with the claims of notability that this page has, and therefore, I can honestly say that this page is lacking notability and therefore does not meet the notability guidelines.

Please discuss this deletion below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options that are not just "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

This request is due to close seven days after it was filed; that is on approx. Sunday, 30 August 2009 at 6:28 am, although it may be closed more quickly due to WP:SNOW.

• Delete Found this article [1] and this map [2] but not much else. This seems to suggest that the area known as Xavier is now part of the University. Does not appear to be notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peterdownunder (talk • contribs)
• The National Atlas shows that Xavier, Kansas is a town - though possibly a defunct town. In either case, towns are inherently notable and notability is not temporary, so  Keep. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 08:04, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Notability is not temporary. So Keep. -DJSasso (talk) 14:10, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Looks like just a bunch of fields in the middle of nowhere, but it exists and towns are considered notable, so keep. Google map link -- EhJJ^TALK 16:12, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Are we sure it's a town? It does look like a bunch of fields in the middle of nowhere. If it wasn't so far I would drive o ver and have a look :)--Peterdownunder (talk) 02:38, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is that the town? There are several matches when I clicked on your link. Agree with Peter about the fields. Griffinofwales (talk) 02:42, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    • County: Leavenworth
    • Elevation (feet): 900

  • I don't think we are qualified to second guess the relevant government. fr33kman ^talk 02:45, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • This may also help. fr33kman ^talk 02:47, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Found it! It's just south of Leavenworth. Here is the yahoo maps link.
    • Well done, I think that closes the issue now. Perhaps another administrator can deal with the RFD. fr33kman ^talk 03:00, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep per WP:SNOW? hmwithτ 16:59, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
