The result was redirect to Category:Libraries in Pennsylvania. Consensus is that the subject either does not exist or at the very least has received no coverage from significant third-party sources. Patar knight's excellent suggestion to redirect the article makes the most sense here. Malinaccier (talk) 00:26, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Can't find a single reference to a state-wide library system under this name. Nothing shows up about it under PA state government sites. Very few results on a general search under the exact phrase "Pennsylvania library system". Most results only use this exact phrase when referring to their own library system existing in PA, or the University of Pennsylvania library system. Only one file from 2003 (incidentally when this article was created) that says the article name in full as its own entity. No serious additions to this page since its creation in 2003 leads me to believe it was referenced once in 2003 and then never again. Overall, lacks WP:GNG so much that I don't even think it exists!

- Delete as per nom. I see no evidence that a "system" exists, just standard interactions between libraries (which may or may not be in Pennsylvania). power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:28, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

- Redirect to Category:Libraries in Pennsylvania as a reasonable search term. It's not unreasonable to think a state-system can exist, we might as well take them to the category page where they can find articles on the libraries in the state.---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 22:31, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
