[edit] Pentland CRT

Non-notable neighborhood. Originally prodded [1], but prod removed by author [2]. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 23:34, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

• Neutral. We don't have explicit notability criteria for places - perhaps a deficiency in the system? However, considering that people are prepared to fight tooth-and-nail over individual high schools and roads, I think it's reasonable to say that neighbourhoods at this scale aren't, at least, obviously non-notable. And it's good to see a reasonably well-put-together article from one of our younger contributors, although I accept that this isn't really relevant. Tevildo 23:58, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment: You're right, I'm not aware of any specific guideline to cover neighborhoods. The closest thing I can think of is that this would be considered a minor street, which is generally not notable according to precedent: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Precedents#Transportation_and_geography. In my opinion though, the main problem here is that the article is painfully devoid of any assertion of notability or importance whatsoever. Shouldn't it make some kind of claim of importance? It also fails WP:VERIFY as it stands, and may be so small as to not be verifiable at all. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 02:02, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I laughed at "this article is now concluded." There is no asseration of notability for this street/neighborhood. It is just merely a description of a normal place. The simplest way to put notability, is to ask: how does article seperate itself from other subjects of similar nature and not be part of the normality. Ways to prove notability, would be uniqueness in structure, population, culture, etc. and/or outside non-trivial coverage. That does not exist for this article and it is just a simple place that isn't yet worthy of recording. Yanksox 03:34, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete come on, are we really going to debate this one? The article is nonsense. Pascal.Tesson 04:34, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
