This neighborhood is not officially recognized by the City of Charlotte or any other government. The shopping center at it's center is nothing more than an unusually large strip mall. I've not been able to find any source, probably because there are none to be found. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:57, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not a real neighborhood, just a shopping center and things nearby. No indication of notability (lack of significant coverage in sources aside from mundane local news) or need to standalone; we have a whole article on the city. -Indy beetle (talk) 04:06, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have not been able to find any in-depth documentation on this, either. Arcadia books are usually good for this sort of thing, at least as starting points, when a subject is a documented one, and I have used them to good effect with other articles. The facts that Rogers & Rogers 1996 has nothing at all, even though post-dating the subject, and nor does Ely, Drain & Rogers 2001, are quite telling. Contrast Byers 2004 being a good indicator that Plaza-Midwood is documented.
