[edit] Canonbury East

Canonbury East (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article is a redundant content fork created at the same time, by the same creator, as East Canonbury. I don't feel that this article even warrants a merge-and-redirect as "Canonbury East" is a phrase I have never heard used to describe this area (known to the rest of the world, the London A-Z guide, the Metropolitan Police et al as De Beauvoir). The article as it stands is totally non-neutral ("It would be a good idea if..."), unsourced, unreferenced, unwikified, loaded with weasel words and appears to consist entirely of inaccurate and irrelevant trivia.

The other prong of this content fork, East Canonbury, is currently the subject of debate at WikiProject London about whether to merge with Canonbury or delete, so I'm not submitting it at this stage. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 18:11, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to East Canonbury to avoid it being done again. Optionally delete first. Stifle (talk) 21:27, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect as per Stifle. There is a loose convention of referring to many areas of London (and probably elsewhere) with the compass point before or after the placename (East Canonbury, Canonbury East), so a redirect would be a fine outcome. Peeper 10:43, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment The area the creator of these two articles is referring to isn't any part of Canonbury (east or otherwise) but De Beauvoir Town, and isn't even included in the council ward of East Canonbury (the only usage I can find of the phrase in the real world); Canonbury is in Islington and the area in question's in Hackney. If it's to be referred to by a compass point, it would be either South Dalston or West Haggerston. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 14:47, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
