No claim of importance. There is no significance in the history, and aren't sources as well. Fails WP:GNG. May be merged with the modern day article Saddle River, New Jersey, if needed. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 12:22, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Being a historic municipality that existed for 240 years and covered much of the state's most populous county is a rather strong claim of importance for a place with extreme significance in history. Sources are present as well. I'm not sure if this is a sick joke, if the account has been hijacked or if the nominator has even the most basic understanding of obligations under WP:BEFORE, but this article passes WP:GNG with flying colors.

Speedy keep - This place undoubtedly existed, and was a "populated, legally recognized place", per WP:GEOLAND. It has received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", per WP:GNG. See [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:03, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Better yet, I'd rather redirect this to Saddle Brook, New Jersey.24.102.156.6 (talk) 14:20, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Same with redirecting Hohokus Township, New Jersey to Mahwah, New Jersey.24.102.156.6 (talk) 14:20, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As is redirecting Union Township, Bergen County, New Jersey to Lyndhurst, New Jersey.24.102.156.6 (talk) 14:20, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also redirected Midland Township, New Jersey to Rochelle Park, New Jersey.24.102.156.6 (talk) 14:29, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
