[edit] Eminent_domain_in_Lake_Zurich

Delete. If this was significant it could be mentioned in the Lake Zurich article, with NPOV issues fixed. There's nothing here to warrant its own article. WP:NOT a soapbox. Bad ideas 06:12, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete : non notable as Eminent Domain cases go on in nearly every city in the United States. Author of the entry is obviously unfamiliar with the topic of eminent domain. Swatjester 08:00, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I didn't even know we were in an eminent domain crisis. The only eminent domain case that has any notability is the attempt to condemn Justice Souter's house out of spite. User:Zoe|^(talk) 21:31, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't say that. Thousands of eminent domain cases go by in every state every year. Some are more notable than others, for example Kelo v. New London, which led to the SCOTUS ruling that opened the way for the attempt to build a museum over Justice Souter's house (while the intent may be spiteful, it meets the letter of the law as to a public taking.)

Yeah, the Kelo case would be notable, too. User:Zoe|^(talk) 00:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

• Merge I actually live next to Lake Zurich and this doesn't warrant itself an article (although watching the occasional protests is amusing). This is important however, in relation to the revitalization project and is worth a mention in the Lake Zurich article. - Ridge Racer 05:15, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
