Brooklawn, Connecticut[edit]

This is not classified by either the state of Connecticut nor the USGS GNIS as a populated place. I believe this does not merit a stand alone article. --Polaron | Talk 02:06, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete.~~ Entirely non-notable. ----Brandon (TehBrandon) (talk) 02:51, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge After some more review this seems to more worthy of a merge than a delete, consider this a merge/weak delete.----Brandon (TehBrandon) (talk) 23:51, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Question Can we verify that it's real? If so, this shouldn't be deleted; it's too small and insignificant to stand as its own article, but if it's real it should be merged or redirected to another article. I'm going to check for references. Nyttend (talk) 04:01, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete I expected to find references, but there's nothing on Google Maps or Mapquest; and the GNIS only lists the Brooklawn Country Club and the Brooklawn Seventh Day Adventist Church. Find sources and it will be a good merge topic, but without sources we can't verify that it exists at all. Nyttend (talk) 04:07, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brooklawn actually does exist as a sub-neighborhood of the "West Side" neighborhood of Bridgeport (Brooklawn is generally the area between Brooklawn Ave and Park Ave north of Route 1). The church is in Bridgeport but the country club is in the adjacent town of Fairfield (specifically in the Stratfield neighborhood). Since the West Side neighborhood does not have an article, I suppose a redirect to Bridgeport might be feasible. --Polaron | Talk 04:26, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and possible merge the bit about the river to the Bridgeport article. This entry is nothing more than a map in prose. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:22, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect / Weak delete I did the same GNIS search and found no reference to Brooklawn as a defined place. If there is any other evidence, I will reconsider, but there seems to be nothing other than a country club and a church that use the name. Alansohn (talk) 17:57, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
