An article about a small neighborhood in Buffalo, New York. It does not seem to be notable in any way, and is unsourced. RedSoxFan2434 (talk) 23:11, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I added sources today. Although this is a small article, it is a starting place to add more information on this Buffalo neighborhood. Tommycw1 (talk) 13:20, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, so what little content it has is now sourced. But what relevant, notable information is there to add? RedSoxFan2434 (talk) 00:52, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - seems notable enough and the standard for places is rather low anyway. Eeekster (talk) 03:32, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- You say it "seems notable enough". How so? RedSoxFan2434 (talk) 18:29, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Delete Per WP:NGEO, "populated places without legal recognition are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the GNG." This does not meet GNG. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 12:19, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. WP:NGEO refers to unofficial neighborhoods and such, but this one appears to actually exist per the sources. It is also delineated on Google Maps which can be another helpful indicator. Actual neighborhoods are presumed to be notable and don't have to satisfy the GNG. Mackensen (talk) 12:29, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This might have useful information to explore: [1] Alanscottwalker (talk) 01:52, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and leave a link to Buffalo, New York (where it is already mentioned) at Cold Springs. There's nothing useful to the reader here and a standalone article isn't justified. --Michig (talk) 09:12, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The neighborhood boundary information is useful, surely? That alone would argue toward a merge and not a delete. Official neighborhoods are notable. Mackensen (talk) 16:30, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Maybe. The best thing would be to have a map of Buffalo within that article with the neighborhoods marked on it - it would certainly make the section on neighborhoods more useful to the reader. --Michig (talk) 16:51, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- One could easily be created; there's a map here from the University at Buffalo. Cold Springs is "C." Mackensen (talk) 17:20, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. This article has potential. This source has some of the neighborhood's history. There are also depictions of the changing demographics of the neighborhood in the 1950s here and here. Gobōnobō + c 04:59, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: After the research done above, it seems to be a notable neighborhood. הסרפד (Hasirpad) [formerly Ratz...bo] 01:55, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't delete the title. No opinion on what to do with the article, but verifiable neighborhood names shouldn't be deleted; if it shouldn't have its own article, it should be redirected to the city article. Nyttend (talk) 23:59, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
