List of hispanic neighborhoods[edit]

Delete admittedly a WP:SYNTH of other data on Wikipedia with some selectivity which may be attributable to a POV or to incompleteness or just an irremediable problem. And does having 50% Hispanic (does this differ from Latino?) population differ substantially from having 49%? Why not have another list with <fill in the blank>% The selection of 50% is just one possible notability marker. In essence, this is just not a keeper.

Comment. Whatever happens to this article the title is patently ridiculous. Is this intended to include every neighbourhood in Spain and most of Latin America? Phil Bridger (talk) 20:05, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep New author, new to the rules. Actually not a bad idea for an article; it takes time to learn the rules. One of those rules is that it's not enough to say that one's references are other Wikipedia articles. However, to the extent that those articles have verifiable sources, you can cite those sources as well as citing your own. The title, of course, should reflect that this is about Hispanic neighborhoods in the United States. It goes without saying, however, that there are sections of towns that are "White", "Black", "Hispanic", "Asian". If a table were to be made (not as difficult as it might seem), it can list percentages. Mandsford (talk) 21:48, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Ill defined term. "Neighborhoods", as presented by this list, is confusing and self-contradictory. I'll use Southern California as a prime example as I'm very familiar with it. It lists Santa Ana and then has the heading "Los Angeles, California and Metro Area" then proceeds to list some neighborhoods in the City of Los Angeles, some that are separate cities and some that are districts within those separate cities. Besides Santa Ana arguably being part of "Los Angeles, California and Metro Area", in this day and age, almost every city and neighborhood in "Los Angeles, California and Metro Area" is heavily Hispanic. It's giving the incorrect impression that there are Latino "enclaves" dotted throughout the city and region. Only a minority of cities and neighborhoods in the "Los Angeles and Metro Area" don't have a high Latino populations. --Oakshade (talk) 02:35, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete List is too broad to be encyclopedic, see WP:SALAT. Themfromspace (talk) 08:13, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is essentially original research (synthesis by a Wikipedia contributor using arbitrary definitions and data from primary sources). The issue of scope could be resolved by retitling it as "List of hispanic neighborhoods in the United States" and the issue of completeness could be resolved by using Census data to identify all concentrations of >50% Hispanic population, but the issue of its being original research would remain, so it should be deleted. --Orlady (talk) 17:24, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
