Seven Oaks (community)[edit]

No evidence that this is anything more than a non-notable subdivision. SchuminWeb (Talk) 19:24, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. A little bit of coverage in third-party sources [1] and [2], and it appears to be marginally notable with regards to BRAC. SheepNotGoats (Talk) 19:36, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I added GNIS data and the references found by SheepNotGoats (talk • contribs • count) -- Eastmain (talk) 00:22, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Mixed feelings on this one. Normally, I would have said to merge to Odenton, Maryland, but this appears to be more along the lines of a poor man's Celebration, Florida. I'm most definitely against making articles about neighborhoods, but this one is pretty thoroughly planned, with regulation by a homeowners' association. Feel free to boo or hiss any of these observations; no !vote here. Mandsford (talk) 01:19, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep As Odenton is only a census-designated place, it's not a municipality, so Seven Oaks isn't like a neighborhood in a city or town; and the GNIS source shows that it's not a simple little subdivision. Therefore, this gets treated as any other unincorporated and named populated place, which is considered inherently notable. By the way, I've moved the article to Seven Oaks, Maryland, which is the standard naming format for all unincorporated communities in the USA. Nyttend (talk) 02:11, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep enough information to make it clear it's a place of the sort we cover, not a neighborhood.DGG (talk) 03:20, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Seven Oaks, Maryland, which Nyttend has already done, with all appropriate links and categories. --Lockley (talk) 22:33, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
