Advertising, A small settlement (from google maps looked 17 houses) in the middle of nowhere. The Rolling Camel (talk) 02:17, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, still a settlement. As part of my magic trick (gather closely kids) watch as the 'advertising' goes away with the removal of 3 words and the click of an edit button! Huzzam! Ironholds (talk) 02:23, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: The article says what anyone that looks up the article would already know, "Hjälstaby is a city in uppsala län." I will change my !vote to keep if the article gets expanded. Schuym1 (talk) 02:33, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Even if someone did not know about the settlement, the article is still not useful. Schuym1 (talk) 02:41, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thats Right, It is nothing to expand with!! Thats the biggest reason of why it got nominated. The Rolling Camel (talk) 02:43, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • And you couldn't find anything on google? Ironholds (talk) 02:58, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • That's not my responsibility. Schuym1 (talk) 02:59, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
          • Actually that was directed at the nominator, my point being he should at least do some basic research before taking it to AfD. Ironholds (talk) 03:08, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
            • And to prove said point: first page of the google search results for 'Hjälstaby' yielded info I've added to the article. Take a gander. Ironholds (talk) 03:18, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Ironholds, not an advertisement, verifiable settlement. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 02:51, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Vote changed to keep: per article improvement. 03:53, 6 January 2009 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schuym1 (talk • contribs)
• Keep Even absent Ironholds's adding the infobox data, this'd likely, consistent with our practice vis-à-vis geographic locations, have been a "keep" (an argument that, in the complete absence of sourcing for the existence of the settlement and of any content save one sentence, redirection [pending expansion] to Uppsala County would be appropriate might have been sustained, but it is not, in any case, one with which I'd have been in sympathy), and it surely is now.

• Keep. While short, the article gives the proper context and also shares statistical information about the place. Clearly non-advertorial and useful after edits. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:44, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Here is the swedish article [1]. The Rolling Camel (talk) 12:35, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep It is a verified, existing settlement. --Bonadea (talk) 14:16, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - settlements are inherently of encyclopaedic interest. Product before process. WilyD 14:29, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per Bonadea. Edward321 (talk) 15:41, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
