Talk:Neighborhoods of Richmond, Virginia

defined by race
user:24.33.23.31 added the following comment in the text of the article. I felt that it was a legitimate point that people could talk about, so I am creating the talk page since people like EBONY (who don't have accounts) can't create new pages. MPS 15:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Randolph post may violate Wikipedia core content policies
I am concerned that the posting for the Randolph neighborhood may violate the Wikipedia core content policies of "no original research," "neutral point of view," and "verifiability." Specifically, my concerns are:


 * there is no source identified for the boundaries of the neighborhood. These boundaries appear to be original research. Many residents within the area encompassed by the boundaries listed in the article consider themselves to be residents of the neighborhoods of Maymont and Byrd Park, not the neighborhood of Randolph. Furthermore, there are residents of areas outside the boundaries described in the article who do consider themselves to be residents of Randolph. The site http://www.richmondcrime.org, which is maintained by the Richmond Police department and tracks crime statistics by neighborhood, is one source that defines the boundaries of the Randolph neighborhood differently than this article does.


 * there is no source for the statement in the article that the neighborhood is "troubled by drug activity." This statement appears to be original research. Again, Richmond Police statistics from http://richmondcrime.org could be used to back up or refute this statement. However, the fact that the Richmond Police have defined the boundaries of Randolph differently than this article defines them complicates the task of using those statistics to back up or refute the statement.


 * there is no source for the statement that "some...call the area 'The USA'" because "many of the streets are named after US states." This statement appears to be original research. At any rate, a neutral point of view would identify "Maymont" as another name (and, I would argue, a much more commonly used name) for the area where the streets are named after states (again, see http://richmondcrime.org).

References should be added to this article to back up the statements the article makes about the Randolph neighborhood. Alternatively, I recommend removing the Randolph article altogether, to be eventually replaced by an article that is backed up with research.

Proposed merge with Creighton Court
Four-sentence article is un-referenced. Only content is about location and artery names. Would fit well in section of the target article. (Probably others, too). —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 11:43, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose sounds like a Stub article. It is legitimate since I can find several reliable sources that establish notability of this "economically challenged" neighborhood. (1) To Live and Die in Creighton Court -- For decades the city steered its poorest African-American residents to dense housing projects. Now, it’s launching a massive plan to repair the damage inflicted upon families in a community where good intentions aren’t enough. (2) Transforming Creighton Court: One of the city’s most socially and economically challenged neighborhoods has been the Creighton Court community and surrounding areas (3) In milestone, first Creighton Court resident moves as part of neighborhood transformation (4) RRHA reconsidering plan to demolish Creighton Court Peace, MPS (talk) 20:33, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

"Hoods"?
Seriously? There's a heading called "Hoods"? That needs to be deleted. Is this an encyclopedia or a Trump rally? Cfinkbeiner1976 (talk) 20:08, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
