[edit] Welland estate

Welland estate (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is so poorly written and void of content that it won't even be useful to write a good article on the subject—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sefringle (talk • contribs).

• Delete, WP:OR and WP:POV problems, nothing worth merging with Peterborough. The Mirror does call it "notorious", but otherwise there are only trivial mentions, not enough for a full article. --Dhartung | Talk 23:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I put a number of cleanup tags on this on 22nd February. I was keeping an eye on it to see if anyone did improve it. They haven't and i don't see that it qualifies as a notable subject for an article. Jules1975 11:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I did a search for the estate, and true to what was said it is a notorious estate particularly for the death of Rikki Neave . This is backed up by a local police report on crime. I've added a few links and some information. Seems a pity the place has to be notorious for crime - but perhaps some notoriety is better than none! Mike 16:33, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Comment My concern at deleting this article is that information on smaller communitites tends to be entered by local people. For obvious reasons the Welland estate may not be well endowed with the type of people on Wikipedia (although there are a few hoodlums on global warming controversy!) What I'm trying to say, is that if this were a middle class village rather than a city estate it may well have had its own well-written entry. Mike 17:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

• Change vote to Keep and Clean Up following improvements by Mike There is still quite a lot of unattributed information in the article and it needs improving, but I feel this estate now appears to be a local geographical area of sufficient note for an article. Jules1975 11:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
