Boxford
My guess is that nobody in Boxford is suffering unduly if unsourced promotional content is removed. And though your invitation to me to stay out of editing 'your' town's article is interesting, contributors are welcome to make constructive edits and join in dialogue anywhere on Wikipedia. To that end, you're welcome to engage at the Boxford talk page, or at [1]. Thank you, 99.137.209.90 (talk) 16:02, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
Sure, perhaps the ice cream parlor's inclusion is unsourced, but Ponix Laboratories' inclusion has a source, along with the town library.[2],[3] Beyond the fact that a facility, industry, firm, or business exists, where does the threshold of notoriety lie within a town?
