We are talking about a Universal Gazetteer of the early 19th century. I am sure you are not a historian. But it must take into account that when this book was printed there was a very limited number of Gazetteers in the world. I think this entry should be expanded but not deleted. Why don’t you check in the external link attached and see for yourself what sort of book we are talking about.

: I do not doubt that it's an important book, but the article as it stands now does not provide ant context or assertion of notability, both key principles for Wikipedia articles. If you wish to contest the speedy, please follow the instructions above.--ukexpat (talk) 21:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
