[[Image:Nassgreenville2.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Laxgalts'ap/Greenville, BC. Entrance sign carved by Merlin Robinson]]'''Lax{{unicode|g̱}}alts'ap''' (also '''Laxqalts'ap, Greenville''') is a [[Nisga'a]] village of approximately 600, in the [[Nass River]] valley of [[British Columbia]].

I tagged this for [[wikipedia:proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] on 17th, on the grounds that it's an unsourced orphan living bio. On 22nd an admin browsing the category of ripe prods decided to remove the tag because "There is some claim to notability in the article (writing for ESPN. The Magazine)". Well obvious, I didn't tag it for speedy, but anyway here we are. My proposal is that we either spend the next five days sourcing this article, or delete it. --[[User talk:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway]] 23:47, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

It is one of the four main villages in Nisga'a territory, and is situated on the north side of the Nass River between [[Gitwinksihlkw]] to the east and [[Gingolx]] to the west. It is approximately 24 km from where the Nass empties into the [[Pacific Ocean]] at Nass Bay.

In the [[Nisga'a language]], Laxgalts'ap translates to "village on village"-- the current village was built on the site of a much older one.<ref>[http://www.citytel.net/~nisga1/Laxgalts'ap.html Laxgalts'ap Village Homepage (My World of the Nisga'a Nation)]</ref><br />

Laxgalts'ap got its English name of Greenville from [[Methodist]] Missionary Alfred Green, who was based here in the late 19th Century.<ref>"Encyclopedia of British Columbia". ''Greenville''. (2000). Harbour Publishing</ref>

* '''Delete''' not notable per nominator. He appears to be "just a journalist", and the who he writes for does not amount to much of a notability claim. You would expect to see his name of by-lines, but I do not believe it fulfills [[WP:BIO]].
