Keep and expand New Scarborough is indeed on the OS maps at grid reference SE196411 Catfish Jim & the soapdish 13:06, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- What matters is if the Ordnance Survey marks it as a location or not, eg Old Lindley is marked as a location, so would warrant an article, while New Scarborough, Bramley may be shown on the map, but not as a location, so therefore would not warrant an article, unlike Old Lindley or Round Maple even though the population of those places is low.

Comment I have blocked User:Eastleigh 9 as a sock of User:Crouch, Swale. User:Crouch, Swale created the article. I guess that technically we could delete this AFD as CSD G5 and the article as G7 but perhaps that would not be the best approach :) nancy 16:08, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... confusing. Why on earth would you create an article then nominate it for deletion? Catfish Jim & the soapdish 16:12, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as failing notability as well questionable verifiability. Edison (talk) 21:04, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep The place definitely exists - there is a post office named New Scarborough PO, I found a picture of a church with a caption saying it is in New Scarborough, Yeadon, etc. According to some discussion I found online, the area is marked by a sign as "New Scarboro".

Delete one of numerous place articles started by this user because it is marked on a map, not because it is notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by J3Mrs (talk • contribs) 00:15, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Doesn't appear to be a well-defined settlement such as a town, village or even a hamlet. Rather it seems to be more like a neighborhood (these are generally not kept unless there is something to write about them). I am strongly in favor of keeping all articles on real settlements, but I cannot see that this location has any distinct significance, even on a local scale.
