Hi all. I just discovered this item and deemed the sources to establish sufficient notability and breadth to start a new article. I hope you will consider this collation carefully and enjoy contributing as well. JJB 21:46, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Not that it likely matters, the way the AfD is going, but how is Paul's statement anything like that of the Libertarian Party? -- Newsroom hierarchies ( talk) 23:21, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
For an example of how WP strives for encyclopedic content, you had added antelope and jack rabbits to the text. By seeking to verify this through a third party (Googling turned up the Guadalupe Mountains National Park), I could find that jack rabbits were verifiable, but antelope were not verified and their association with Paulville may just be nothing more than a reference to " Home on the Range". However, several other notable species, like elk, were verified and added to the article. Nothing wrong with starting with a theory that includes antelope, and especially nothing wrong if you turn up another source that verifies antelope in the local area; but as you can see, WP regards everything as a first draft to be improved upon over time. Hope that explains things! I will comment on your other additions later. JJB 17:51, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Here's my first take on Jason's edits ( assuming good faith as to authorship); others may want to comment as well:

"Planners have (at least metaphorically) raised the Paulville town sign[13] and are establishing septic[3] and electrical systems on a unique opt-out basis reflective of principles of individualism:[1] citizens are not required to use the cooperative's water and energy supplies[19] and may choose to live off-grid.[6]"
One of the biggest selling points of Paulville, as far as I've seen, is this "unique opt-out" utility system. But I feel like I'm missing something. How is that different from absolutely everywhere else? I live in New York City, which is like the opposite of Paulville, and I don't have to pay the electric company for electricity. I can do whatever I want. So what's the deal? I'm tempted to delete the word "unique" or maybe even the whole paragraph, but I need someone to explain to me how this is different from everywhere else in America. -- 38.112.47.130 ( talk) 19:52, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

It mentions that some residents "choose to live off-grid" from the town's septic and electrical systems. This implies that there are already people living there. What, then, is the current population and/or demographics? Stonemason89 ( talk) 14:42, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

In the 'External links' section of the Article, there is only one link given: http://www.paulville.org/ and clicking on the line gives a "Server not working" message. — FYI, Charles Edwin Shipp ( talk) 13:13, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Paulville, Texas. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

After looking into this in some detail, I endorse the speedy deletion for the move. There are, for all effective purposes, no other Paulvilles. And the special circumstances of Paulville, Texas indicates that it is probably best placed at just "Paulville" rather than "Paulville, Texas". Herostratus ( talk) 22:54, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
Sorry, Ron.
As far as I can tell there has been no word on Paulville since 2008. Satellite images of the area also show no development. I changed it all to the past tense and said that the site was never developed and the organization remains inactive.
wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulville exists. However, following a link to wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulville/ returns a Page Not Found error page from Wikipedia.
Appending a slash the end of a path is not a good practice, but it is a common one.
Somehow I doubt that many Wikipedia pages have titles ending in a slash. Surely this could be parsed out? When I search the internet for "paulville", the first link returned shows info from the /Paulville page, but the link is /Paulville/, which leads to the Page Not Found message.
Seems like a stupid problem to have. ProphetZarquon ( talk) 17:32, 20 November 2018 (UTC) jp× g 23:23, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
