[edit] Washington Beach

Delete neologism/local vanity; the nickname of a small area in Columbus, Ohio (my hometown 1977-2002) that doesn't appear to have any currency outside of a few users on a couple of online music-related message boards (such as donewaiting.com, and just as many people on that site appear to call it "Baja Clintonville", or SoHu for South of Hudson Street). The area the article describes is in fact just referred to by the masses as "north campus" (if anything), as it's nothing more than the non-distinct northern end of the largely uniform area surrounding the Ohio State University main campus.

  • Keep and expand and move to Washington Beach, Columbus, Ohio. We have articles n lots of neighborhoods. RickK 20:57, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
    • Right, and I've written more than a few neighborhood articles—it's just that this isn't a valid one. The name is not in common usage, and there really isn't anything that can be said about this specific area that is different from the larger surroundings. It's nothing more than the area where the Ohio State University campus fades into Clintonville. Postdlf 22:37, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • OK, Postdlf has convinced me to vote delete. RickK 23:28, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete student vanity. JamesBurns 04:36, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per Postdlf. Radiant_>|< 10:54, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I've lived in this area for two years (where campus turns into Clintonville) and I've never heard it called "Washington Beach". Also, the fact that the name allegedly comes from Grand Theft Auto doesn't help its credibility as a legit article.
