[edit] Aviara, California

(Since I nominated this article, I abstain). Consider deleting this article about a neighborhood in Carlsbad, California. Essentially, it contains the exact same information that the Carlsbad article has about the neighborhood, except for two sentences about its latitude and longitude coordinates and what public schools are available. Further, both pieces of information can easily be added to the Carlsbad article, like this: — Seven Days » talk 01:16, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

• Perhaps move to Aviara, Carlsbad, and redirect that to Carlsbad, California? Seems convoluted I realize, but the former is (as far as I know) the correct naming format for a US neighborhood article, and since this a verifiable neighborhood, I see no need to delete it. If it can't be expanded into a useful article right now though, sure, redirect... but it's a useful redirect and could easilly be expanded someday. --W.marsh 01:36, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually, if this really is a census-designated place, shouldn't it be kept as a seperate article? That's what the overwhelming precedent is for CDPs. From the Louisville article though, I realize census designations can be very confusing! --W.marsh 01:48, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Actually, it isn't. Go to American Factfinder and submit a quary for Aviara, California on the main page. There are no results. I don't know who came up with the 1.6 km² area, but in any case, it seemed reasonable enough for me to add it to the main Carlsbad article (without the false claim that it was a CDP). Good luck on your law studies/profession. — Seven Days » talk 01:56, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Then I stand by my initial recommendation... delete this but perhaps a properly named redirect would be useful. Thanks. --W.marsh 02:02, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
        • For clarity, I have emphasized the words "delete" and "redirect" in your post. — Seven Days » talk 04:43, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep under precedent. Gazpacho 02:12, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep under precedent. CDPs get their own articles, that's established. VT hawkeye_{talk to me} 04:20, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Please note that Aviara is not a CDP; see the above conversation with User:W.marsh. I will remove that claim from the article so that it is not as misleading. — Seven Days » talk 04:26, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
    • OK -- I rescind and vote to Delete. VT hawkeye_{talk to me} 04:31, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
      • For clarity, I have struck out your keep vote. — Seven Days » talk 04:43, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Appears to have some independent notability. Move to "Aviara, Carlsbad, California" to indicate its status as a neighborhood of a city. -Will Beback 05:51, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
