[edit] Asia District, Peru

This is a short article that reads like a Department of Commerce description. The article fails to note what is remarkable or notable about this district other than it is a center of commerce in Peru. I'm not sure it would be prudent to create an article about every center of commerce in every city of every nation. Admittedly, I could be in err about this so I submit to the community.

• Comment. Seems to be a beach district in the Canete province in Peru but much of the information seems to be based on Wikipedia. It would be useful to have input of Peruvian Wikipedians but we don't seem to have a noticeboard for Peruvian Wikipedians or a general South American one. If this is a real district with real community of interest, I would vote to keep but I am not confident. Capitalistroadster 03:01, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. It's a real place where people live and work; that makes it notable unless it's extremely small. I agree in the strongest possible terms that the article could benefit from much improvement via consensus editing. -Ikkyu2 05:11, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless rewritten per nom. Comment: I am uncomfortable in general voting "weak keep" or "keep and rewrite". Too many articles survive AfD on this basis and susbsequently do not get rewritten. Zunaid 13:19, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Questions That's a fair point. Do closing admins actually check if votes like Keep if rewritten have had the article rewritten or not? Is it fair to ask them to? I'm just asking the questions, not implying they do or don't. Dlyons493 Talk 20:56, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• This place really exists, I'm a peruvian wikipedian, and I go there (Asia) frequently. The article should be kept and more information should be added.-nmulder 08:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
