• Apparently it's not even incorporated (which if I understand US speak means it is too tiny to have its own municipal government). Should this be redirected somewhere or deleted or something? Hobbitschuster (talk) 23:29, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
  • We could redirect it to Windsor (Vermont), but I don't think it's necessary. Unincorporated communities are still communities. It should be de-orphaned, though; it's not linked from any region. Powers ^(talk) 03:03, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
• Speedy keep real places. Powers ^(talk) 03:03, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
• Speedy keep per Powers. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:39, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
• Speedy keep, as in definitely not a deletion candidate. People who know the area can decide whether the article should survive as such or it ought to be redirected. Pashley (talk) 04:05, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
• Speedy keep per all of the above. The question of whether or not a community is incorporated often has little bearing on size or importance. Example: Amherst, NY, population 125000. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 05:49, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
  • Not to nitpick, but Amherst is an incorporated town. A better example might be a dissolved village like Seneca Falls (population 6,681), though that's a little ambiguous because it's still part of an incorprated town named the same. Powers ^(talk) 18:52, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

• The definition of "incorporation" varies from government agency to government agency, but according to the Census Bureau, the only two classes of incorporated municipalities in NYS are cities and villages. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 19:37, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
  • As far as I can tell, New York's towns are not "incorporated places" by the Census Bureau's definition because they are not places, not because they're not incorporated. Powers ^(talk) 02:04, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
    • See w:New England town#Towns. As far as I know, the "New England town" concept matches the NYS version, where "town" is used to mean what the rest of us call a "municipal township". For instance, an international translation from American to Canadian may look like en-us:"Clayton (New York) is an incorporated village, its surrounding rural area is the Town of Clayton" vs. en-ca:"Gananoque (Ontario) is a small incorporated town, its surrounding rural area is the Township of Leeds and the 1000 Islands".

• Expand, looks like there is a Holiday Inn resort there and at least one restaurant. --Traveler100 (talk) 08:26, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
• Is there anything to see or do? If there are only one or two listings for this place, merge it to Windsor (Vermont)#Nearby and redirect to section. K7L (talk) 13:27, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
• So why then do we delete towns of sometimes larger size when the Telstra vandal creates them when we cannot ever delete an unicorporated hamlet? Hobbitschuster (talk) 20:00, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Because it's the Telstra vandal. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 22:44, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

• Result: Speedily kept per consensus. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 03:09, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
