[edit] Edison Courts

Non notable apartment complex, prod removed with no reason, Delete-- Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 20:25, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

• KeepNotable as first low cost public housing with solar water heat, per New York Times article cited, 1939.Edison 21:23, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. Claim to notability should be moved to lead paragraph. Pan Dan 21:27, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - given the language used in the New York Times title, the houses "to get solar" rather then "have got solar" and the image provided does not appear to have solar roof panels I have to question the only claim of nobility as being acurate. Since the source provided only can be accessed by subscription, I have to wonder about the verification of the claim. Unless further source is provided, I will have to vote delete.--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 22:01, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Just so you know, given that it is the New York Times, there are plenty of ways to read it, even old issues from the 30s. Possibly even at your local public library. Yeah, you might have to do some legwork to read it, but it's not that much. FrozenPurpleCube 01:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

• CommentSome readers may have access to NY Times online via their public library or school library, so I provided the link as a convenience, but it available on microfilm at any large public library. I hope providing a subscription online link doe not disqualify a reference as verifiable.Edison 16:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete partly due to verifiability concerns, but even if the solar thing were settled, "first public housing complex with solar water heat" is a pretty thin claim to notability. Opabinia regalis 00:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

• CommentPossibly more notable than every song by every rock group, every high school, every numbered road, every character in a video game, or every bus route in the world, all of which seem to have articles.Edison 16:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Don't think I don't agree with you. Opabinia regalis 03:13, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
