Talk:Little Italy, Melbourne

Little Italy?
Seriously? When did this happen? I've lived my whole life in Melbourne, and eaten on Lygon St dozens of times. I went to Melbourne Uni. I work 100m from it. And I've never heard the term "Little Italy" used about it. New York City, yes. Melbourne, no. Google does show some support for the term, but most of the references are in quotes, like Melbourne's own "Little Italy" or - indicating that they're just borrowing New York's term. And of course, some of the top hits for "Lygon St" don't use it at all

Overall, I'm not really convinced that this is the right term for this area. Stevage 01:57, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree, it may be a descriptive term used on tourist brochures, but virtually unused by locals and non-existent in the Melway street directory. This article definitely needs a name change, perhaps Lygon Street (Carlton) as Lygon Street redirects to Lygon Street, Melbourne which encompasses the whole street (Carlton, Carlton North, Princes Hill and Brunswick East) Melburnian (talk) 08:10, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you think two articles are really justified? Why not just one Lygon Street, Melbourne, with sections about the various parts. And obviously the Carlton bit (between about Elgin St and Queensberry St) would have a big section. The only downside to this is that the "Lygon St district" obviously spills off down the side streets a bit...but it pretty much is just Lygon St. Stevage 00:53, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think this is very much a notable topic on its own; it has had at least one book written specifically about it and there is much room for expansion in terms of the rich history of the area. This is a precinct that spills into the surrounding streets, and is more than just the street itself. Perhaps it has been broken out of the main article a little prematurely, but there is plenty of material here for a substantial stand-alone article to be developed.

Merger Proposal
I propose that this article gets merged with Lygon_Street,_Melbourne — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phnomenon (talk • contribs) July 25, 2011‎
