[edit] Seacoast Shores

Seacoast Shores (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Contested prod, so here we are. Unremarkable housing development too small/minor to be known to GNIS, Mapquest, or USPS as a 'populated place'. Most Ghits are real estate listings and/or addresses on Seacoast Shores Blvd--nothing indicating it is commonly/generally considered a "neighborhood". Shawisland (talk) 02:10, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep - Not only is it a neighborhood, the Cape Cod Times calls it "one of Falmouth's most densely populated neighborhoods" [1] and constantly refers to it as a "neighborhood" elsewhere [2][3], not a housing development.--Oakshade (talk) 17:59, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Neighborhoods aren't generally notable, either, though. Powers T 18:04, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
    • GNIS or Mapquest may not have it listed, but Realtor.com lists it as its own neighborhood, and the local Realtors association considers it its own neighborhood. I see that the argument here is neighborhoods should not be included on Wikipedia, but I believe that there is a Massachusetts expansion project going on, correct? So why delete it if it adds to the Massachusetts content on the site? Tgreve (talk) 21:46, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Ahh, here it is. Wikiproject Massachusetts Tgreve (talk) 21:50, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
        • I'm not clear on where in WikiProject Massachusetts they indicate that articles on individual neighborhoods within towns are desirable. It's my impression that the current practice on Wikipedia is to include information on neighborhoods and hamlets in the article for the surrounding municipality (town/city/village), unless the neighborhood has exceptional notability on its own or the municipality's article is too large (such as Brentwood, Los Angeles, California). Neither is the case here. Powers T 15:17, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
