[edit] SPURA

SPURA (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

"SPURA" (the "Seward Park Urban Renewal Area") - a neologism, not used much in the context of the area it refers to other than by realtors, smacking of advertising and conflict of interest. No valid references for the name being used. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LoHo for a recent similar deletion involving the same editor. Delete. Proto::► 13:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Now Proto is just being naive or mean to me personally. SPURA is not an advertisement, but a bona fide NY City issue (New York TimesNew York Times again) that is being weighed heavily and debated. There is no gain for any individual here, but a City debate on whether or not the City needs more low income housing, more commercial, more upscale, etc. It has been undeveloped in 35 years, that is nit normal for NYC - so something must be going on here other than your simplistic read.Juda S.

  • Downtown Express on SPURA
  • Downtown Express on SPURA again
  • Keep per references supplied by Juda S. Engelmayer. The New York Times reference [3] on this subject is also strong indication of notability. --Oakshade 01:11, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and rename Delete SPURA, keep and rename the article 2 NY Times articles about the program establishes notability, but take out the acronym from the main article title. And I wouldn't use the http://www.anothrecupdevelopment.org (POV) or the Curbed.com (RS, as much as I love the guys behind the site). Ytny 03:22, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Rename - I understood the term use issue, so I already moved it to Seward Park Urban Renewal Area (SPURA). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Judae1 (talk • contribs) 17:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC).
