[edit] Collendina

Contested prod about a non-notable town. MER-C 13:49, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep Seems like a notable neighborhood/section of a town. Has some history, no reason to think it's untrue. Meaningful Google coverage is a bit scarce though, but that might be expected for the historical stuff. [1] --W.marsh 14:31, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions -- Longhair 14:44, 11 September 2006 (UTC) (UTC)
• Keep -- the place certainly exists, though I'd have to do a check on the accuracy of some of the information within. The Collendina Pub is somewhat famous among locals of Geelong though it's been years since I've been there myself. - Longhair 14:45, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Ebbsco's Australia and New Zealand database has 105 hits mainly from the Geelong Advertiser. It seems to be a reasonably well known locality at least in the area. Capitalistroadster 04:33, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to town article.--Peta 06:09, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - I'm of the opinion that a town is inherently notable, and even a section of a town if the history about the administrative split from Ocean Grove can be verified. Will need to be moved to Collendina, Victoria as per naming conventions for Australian places, and to disambiguate from the town in New South Wales [2]. --Canley 09:48, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• KeepThere was no documentation on the internet about my town or now suburb as many see it, so I decided to use wikipedia to put a bit about the history. If you need proof of existance use http://www.street-directory.com.au it is marked on there(at detail level 5). but it is more considered by the locals to start at tuckfeild street. The infomation I have written is gathered from people who have lived in Ocean Grove longer than me. The Handshake is an actual handshake (this section was deleated, I'm not sure how many people still know it, but it does exist at least me and my friends still use it. I dont mind if that section isnot deemed encyclopedia worthy, but the histroy is definatly worthy Koikaze 10:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

What goes into articles should be from published sources, though offline sources are fine. I doubted that the handshake thing met this criteria... but if you have a source, feel free to re-add it. --W.marsh 13:32, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, it's a real place that exists, which is good enough per well established precedent (the Rambot stubs). The area officially called Collendina (east of Bonnyvale Rd) is small and not terribly notable because there is little development yet, although as Koikaze says, east of Tuckfield St/Grubb Rd is usually considered Collendina.
