The result was keep. The article was cleaned up during the AFD. By the end of the discussion there was a clear consensus that the page should be kept, including the nominator. (Non-admin closure.) BlueValour (talk) 02:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Frankleigh Park
No indication of notability and article content consists almost entirely of lists. Grimhim (talk) 03:20, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Comment, it does look like a real place. The question to me is whether in NZ "suburb" just means neighborhood of a municipality (New Plymouth), or if it is incorporated itself in some way. --Dhartung | Talk 05:11, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- It often means that it used to have its own municipal status but has since become subsumed in a larger entity. There was a major reorganisation of local government in NZ in the 1980s, after which a lot of former boroughs got amalgamated. In the case of Frankleiggh Park, I don't think it ever was a separate borough, but that shouldn't make much difference as we have articles on neighbourhoods for many different cities most of which are normally kept if brought up for AfD. In this particular case, this looks more like a candidate for cleanup than for deletion, so I'd say Keep. Grutness...wha? 05:29, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep, suburbs are worth having articles on. I'm writing articles on every locality or suburb in New Zealand large enough to have a primary school; when I get to Taranaki, Frankleigh Park will qualify because it appears to include Woodleigh School. Vogeltown School is on the boundary between Frankleigh Park and Vogeltown, but I'd put it in Vogeltown just because of the name in the absence of more specific information.-gadfium 05:42, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Weak Keep, I'm usually quite sceptical about locality articles as they rarely seem to have much content, but this one appears to have enough to qualify for stub status. --Deadly∀ssassin 07:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Nominator's comment: Cleanup certainly adds some value to the article. I've got no real problem with it now. I PROD'd it a while ago, but that didn't result in any change. The AfD has done the trick. Thanks. Grimhim (talk) 08:37, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Comment perhaps if you were trying to get some change in the article a cleanup template would have been better? That's what they're for... Grutness...wha? 01:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- Reply Maybe you're right, but I pointed out the obvious failings of the article when proposing its deletion in February and it was you, as I now discover, who chose to remove the PROD tag and leave it in the same miserable, worthless state. The only worthwhile fact it had at that point, other than a list of schools and an apparently random selection of street names, was that it was a suburb of New Plymouth, which wouldn't even have met the criterion for existing as a stub. So presented with the option of having it deleted or improved, you've given it some work that should allow it to stay. I'm happy with that. Grimhim (talk) 10:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
