[edit] Northgate, Seattle, Washington

Delete. This is an article about an "informal district of neighborhoods." No indication of notability is given. --דניאל - Danielrocks123 ^contribs 21:51, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, this is an informative article about a verifiable region of an American metropolis. Probably one of the best such articles on Wikipedia. Gazpacho 22:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually, as Seattle goes, this is near the low end of what's been done. With some insane number of local contributors here, I'd go so far as to say that the Seattle neighborhood articles are among the most developed neighborhood articles we've got.
• Keep - Precedent says that all towns are notable. This isn't quite the same, but there are many, many, many other articles on neighborhoods of big cities. --Daniel Olsen 23:10, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, Northgate is often considered its own neighborhood even if it is actually made of constituent hoods. As a designated urban center planned high-density area of the city, it is notable via government action, a fact that need to make its way into the article. It also has a ridiculous amount of sourcing, perhaps the first one i've seen in AfD where there's too much sourcing. hateless 00:13, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes, Seattle has a local editor who is rather enthusiastic about sourcing not only the entry, but sources the source. SchmuckyTheCat 03:06, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep This is a ridiculous nomination. SchmuckyTheCat 02:26, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep. And with reference to "informal district": Seattle has no formal districts, other than for specific purposes (e.g. fire districts, police precincts). Even former cities that have been absorbed (Ballard and Fremont, for example) no longer have formal status. -- Jmabel | Talk 03:31, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, for reasons given. It would be one thing if the included neighborhoods were better known than Northgate, but Northgate as the name for the area is much more than formulary.--Trypsin 10:21, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per all above (except nom). --Marriedtofilm 05:19, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
