Paulville, Texas

The organization's website is down ([1]); this appears to be a non-notable flash in the pan. YixilTesiphon ^{Say hello}_{Be shallow} 20:46, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete That's a lot of news coverage; however, I'm finding almost nothing about this town outside of what's already sourced. Given also that their site has gone down, I'd say this is probably a one-event thing. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 20:56, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Ron Paul. Seems a bit WP:CRYSTALline, but just enough of it is sourced that it can make a decent addition to Ron Paul's page. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 23:13, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (and notify the creator next time please). Has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. The site is probably down (it only happened today) due to the NYX article; but even its being down was newsworthy (Politico)! I still haven't been able to add the reactions of Andrew Sullivan or the Seattle Stranger. Has attracted about a dozen editors in a very short time (I did ask a couple of them for help). It would be silly to predicate an AFD on one hiccup in a mom-and-pop website that gets hit by NYX. JJB 21:34, 12 May 2008 (UTC) I see nothing at WP:GROUP that excludes Paulville from WP as a planned community. JJB 21:38, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete or Merge to Ron Paul or his campaign article. As it stands the planned community is a crystal ball. Another option might be to Rename to Ron Paul Revolution and merge in all the random Ron Paul admiration efforts that well sourced but of questionable notability (money bombs, the blimp, Trevor Lyman, etc).
