Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Medina neighborhoods

Medina neighborhoods

These areas described as neighborhoods in Medina County, Ohio are nothing more than mere housing subdivisions. Although the notability guidelines do not address places, I expect that a subdivision must display some special significance (which these do not) in order to justify an article. If not, Wikipedia would be overrun with articles on individual subdivisions and gated communities. - EurekaLott 00:23, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I could tolerate a "Medina Neighborhood List" but each one does not deserve their own article without some individual establishment of notability. 205.157.110.11 00:36, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There is clearly a need to establish what constitutes a neighborhood. Most of the neighborhood articles that I have read do not establish notability, even those that are in my mind notable e.g. Little Italy, Manhattan, Noe Valley, San Francisco, California. It is also true that unincorporated places are clear keepers on wikipedia. These neighborhoods do not seem notable to me and it is unclear to me that they are neighborhoods at all. Nonetheless it seems that true neighborhoods would always be notable, as they are often deliniated on maps etc. I don't think that suburban gated communities or subdivisions constitute a neighborhood.--Nick Y. 17:41, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep List of neighborhoods in Medina, Ohio. As I mention on that talk page, there seems to be a precedent for lists of neighborhoods as evidenced by List of neighborhood listings by city. I'm undecided on the individual neighborhood articles, but perhaps information from the other articles could be merged into the list. Lbbzman 17:54, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Simply based on wiki guidelines (or lack there of in respect to sub-divisions), these developments "technically" seem to merit articles. 64.12.116.137 20:05, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep I think that we should err on the side of keep, not because these are notable neighborhoods but simply because neighborhoods are notable. I'm not certain these qualify as neighborhoods though?--Nick Y. 20:44, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Why err at all? They're not neighborhoods; they're subdivisions. Two of the subdivisions are in Montville Township, and the township's website identifies them as such. The third is clearly a subdivision, as its homeowners association has its own site. - EurekaLott 21:55, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Medina, Ohio. The main city article doesn't even link to the neighborhoods article and isn't large enough to justify separate articles of relatively indistinguished neighborhoods. No assertion is made of the notability of the individual neighborhoods, but may be relevant to someone researching the city. Neil916 22:11, 19 July 2006 (UTC).[reply]
Keep but really only if every use of "neighborhood" is replaced with "sub-division." I would even support a merge, either alltogether as Sub-divisions in/of Medina, Ohio (ideal) or with Medina, Ohio 205.188.116.199 00:40, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I would support a Keep or Merge. Delete seems a little harsh for information that does indeed follow wiki criteria/guidelines. 152.163.100.74 19:12, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
