Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Polish Hill (Kansas City, Kansas)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy keep. Withdrawn. The rationale for deletion (lack of verifiability) has been remedied, and there will not be consensus that this fails notability guidelines. Some of the "history" section should be a "geography" section - it's the only way I see to discuss physical landmarks identifying the neighborhood without being an advertisement. This is a new article under active development, and keeping this discussion open no longer serves any purpose. (non-admin closure) power~enwiki (π, ν) 15:03, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notability issues. "Neighborhoods" are often folklore and are not government-defined subdivisions.

This is also a WP:G3 deletion - the post is now sourced to a forum post made today. This is either malice or incompetence by the author. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:17, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Power~enwiki, please see my edit to the article. Levivich 04:20, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • After checking the references, I see the problem. The original references are ads for something called the "Polski Day Parade". I'll see if anything is left once I remove that. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:24, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      I don't know anything about the notability rules for neighborhood, so no comment from me as to whether it's notable enough to keep, but it's not a hoax, the place is real. Levivich 04:29, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • I've struck my "hoax" remarks. This may be an ad, but it is not a hoax. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:37, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep obviously a real area with real history. I started searching the church names and quickly found photos like [1] which is not a RS but proves that Poles founded the church and settled in the area just like this article says. Legacypac (talk) 05:04, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep validated as a regionally-recognized neighborhood by independent third-party sources. Normally we keep such articles. I added several categories and interested editors can check there to see how it compares to other similar articles. A worthy stub article.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:41, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
