Nothing suggests that this municipal government department is notable. Article was previous fluffy; now, contains one source (primary) and nothing to indicate notability. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 13:30, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I find that is it notable due to a lack of knowledge about it in the general Boston populace, due to the fact that historically Boston's records have been held by individual departments and only recently have they been moved to the archives; this is also of interest to other archivists and genealogists. I can change the page to reflect this. User: zyarchive —Preceding undated comment added 14:17, 25 March 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Upon further review, I agree that it does lack the notability element, as there are no high profile articles about the archives, despite the role they played recently in the email scandal in Boston's city government. I had modeled the page after the pageNew York City Municipal Archives [1]page to serve simply as an additional resource for users looking for information or for those coming from the Boston page or the West Roxbury page. If it must be deleted, it is understandable. User: zyarchive 14:38, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You could speed the process up by blanking the page, making it available for {{g7}} speedy deletion. OR, you could watch the process unfold here and learn someone from it. Your choice. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 15:03, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have made some changes in an effort to better reflect the importance of the archives. I would rather not blank the page, as I think it is an important resource of knowledge and deserves a spot on Wikipedia. User:zyarchive 15:33, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
