This is just a list of townships (canton in Quebec). Too insubstantial to deserve an article. I would say merge to Quebec or somewhere, but, 1) In a list of something like 50 names, there are two existent articles, quite useless, and 2) the article states that the list is from 2001, and many of the towns don't even exist anymore. Delete, unless some use can be found for it to be merged somewhere. --Dmcdevit 23:26, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep You know how many similar American lists there are like this? Tons! And merge to Quebec? are you nuts? Urgh! - Earl Andrew 02:16, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Online encyclopedias are more useful when they are navigable. Kappa 02:33, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Lists like this are useful, and for the towns that don't exist anymore... there are articles and categories such as List of ghost towns and Category:Ghost towns. --Deathphoenix 03:02, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I wouldn't have thought the towns had been abandoned, just that the administrative borders have been redefined... Average Earthman 09:29, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, but it would be great to see it updated. - SimonP 03:27, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)
- Heavens! Just a list of townships! Where will it end? Wikipedia might actually end up documenting the majority of everything in existence, thereby becoming the first real encyclopedia in recorded history! Oh, that's a keep, by the way.--Gene_poole 04:54, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep but annotate. Radiant_* 09:04, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and update if possible. It's a clearly defined geographical list, of a sensible definition and sufficient length to be of some use but not so open ended it becomes ludicrous. Average Earthman 09:29, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, obviously. CJCurrie 00:56, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - we have list of counties of (STATE) Saopaulo1 07:20, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete --Spinboy 03:08, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Esoteric, but semi-finite and verifiable. Needs annotation and general cleanup, but this is perfectly useable as is. - Lucky 6.9 05:33, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- keep. It's Quebec we need to delete. Avriette 01:35, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
