No indication of significance for encyclopedic content. Tal Brenev (talk) 22:48, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Since Sunnyside Gardens is a Historic District and this property is a contributing property, there is an indication of notability. The architect of the complex and the landscape architect are notable, more indications of notability. The only issue is whether to merge to the parent subject or not. I think a merge is reasonable since there is plenty of room in the Sunnyside Gardens article. I can't see how deletion would be appropriate. A Google Book search also turns up substantial coverage in a variety of reliable independent sources. Candleabracadabra (talk) 01:44, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - A Google book search would seem to indicate the apartments are notable. This book from Columbia University press has some coverage. This book from McFarland also contains some coverage. This book from Cornell University has no preview, but the title "Clarence S. Stein's Phipps Garden Apartments: A Successful Experiment in American Socialist Housing" makes it rather clear that the apartments represent the primary topic of the entire book. -- Whpq (talk) 17:39, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There's enough coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. TheBlueCanoe 01:01, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but I'd like better online sourcing for "In 2007, the Landmarks Preservation Commission included the Phipps Garden Apartments in the designation of the Sunnyside Gardens Historic District." Bearian (talk) 17:38, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
