There is a source cited = The Free People of Color of New Orleans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akh2103 (talk • contribs) 04:38, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's not really a "source" in the Wikipedia sense - see WP:REF. It might accurately describe where you found the information but we would need more that a single mention in a single book to satisfy our inclusion guidelines. Stalwart111 06:04, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Jefferson Boulevard (as suggested below) ~~Delete~~ - I couldn't find significant coverage in multiple, reliable sources nor anything that recognised the location as a notable place. Stalwart111 06:04, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Jefferson_Boulevard#Little_New_Orleans. I could find evidence to where this existed, but the problem here is that the coverage is all fairly minor in scope. It's all brief 1-2 sentence mentions here and there. There is not really anything out there to show that this merits an entry along the lines of Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, for example. It's a shame that there isn't any true in-depth coverage because this sounds like it would be fascinating, but we aren't here to make up the difference. For now I'd say that there's merit in merging some of the information into the main article for Jefferson and just redirecting there. On a side note, I removed the mention of The Free People of Color of New Orleans because I need the page number and the other information to have a proper cite. With that info missing and the same information found on other sources, I just went ahead and removed it. It can be re-added with the full information (page number, ISBN, etc), but the big issue is that the mention is just as brief as the ones I found. If anyone wants to write about this and get it published through some of the scholarly channels, then we can start looking at creating a full article.

I found another mention in an article about the Creole people in LA, but it was again just a brief mention in general. This has to be one of the more frustrating AfDs I've tried to find sources for, as I really wish we could write more about this but the sourcing and basic material just isn't out there. On a side note, I've added the material to Jefferson_Boulevard#Little_New_Orleans. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:53, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's certainly interesting, it just doesn't seem to be notable. But your merger suggestion seems sensible - have changed my own note. Stalwart111 09:42, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Jefferson Boulevard#Little New Orleans. Per source availability, doesn't appear to qualify for a standalone article. Northamerica1000^(talk) 21:25, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
