[edit] Nichada

I can't find anything to support this article existing here. The most I can find seems to indicate it's a subdivision of Bangkok, Thailand. Doesn't seem notable. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 05:20, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as nominator. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 05:23, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but maybe move to Nichada Thani, based on the sentence The International School of Bangkok has a foreigner satellite city around it, called Nichada Thani (near Muang Thong Thani). from [1]. This city appears to be just as notable as any podunk little village in the U.S. or anywhere else. The article needs some cleanup and sources, however. --CrypticBacon 08:28, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• See nichada.com. Nichada is a commercial development, a residential community. It's a stretch to describe it as a town, let alone a city, and this strikes me as hype. Nichada's address is given on the Nichada Thani Group of Companies website as a side-street (soi) in Nonthaburi, for heavens sake. It appears to be a muu baan (Thai: หมู่บ้าน)- usually translated as "village", but actually more like a housing estate. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of muu baan in Bangkok and nearby Nonthaburi and Rangsit (where they're building many more). Nichada does not appear to be especially notable, apart from being intended for western residents, and its proximity to the International School Bangkok. Delete, or merge with Nonthaburi or International School Bangkok or something. TheMadBaron 14:39, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
