the nomination No consensus (2 for, 2 against).--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 20:59, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Canaryville seems like it might be a deep enough topic for its own page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 17:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I disagree. This is the only case I have seen in which a Chicago neighborhood (subset of a community area) got its own Wikipedia entry. And at present the Canaryville article is very short and its content would fit just fine in New City, Chicago IMO. I say merge and redirect. --141.156.222.51 17:30, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Let's merge 'em. Canaryville is tiny, and so is the amount of info about it on its page. Speciate 18:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Canaryville is not and never again will be a part of New City. We should not live by archaic boundaries. Canaryville should be separated from the rest of New City on Wikipedia as it has separated itself from New City in every form imaginable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mac7477 (talk • contribs) 21:10, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Re-open argument to Merge
I propose merging the Canaryville article back to the New City article should be reconsidered based on the following:

1. The recognized community areas defined in Chicago are, regardless of current consideration, still determined by the city, and are current so far as the maps are printed today (in 2009). The reasoning for the defining of areas was exactly for the purposes given to not merge: neighborhood names do change, but the community areas do not. Certainly not at the discretion of WP editors.

2. In case that argument is questioned, here's an example: Canaryville is smaller than Pilsen, yet Pilsen is included as part of the community area Lower West Side, Chicago, which it shares with Heart of Chicago (a Little Italy section).

3. If anything, Bridgeport is more closely connected to Canaryville than is New City, but it doesn't matter so far as the community areas are concerned, because they are both subject to geographic boundaries, not the whims or opinions of Irish Americans living in either.

I urge this matter to be reconsidered. Perhaps some other WikiProject Chicago types could weigh in on this?Ryecatcher773 (talk) 02:30, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
