Definitions
What is Vickery Meadow? Is it a neighborhood, a subdivision, or something else? Are there recognized boundaries to Vickery Meadow? Geographically, is it identical to the VMID? Vereverde (talk) 17:31, 30 September 2010 (UTC) -- The lack of boundary information is one of my biggest concerns about this article/entry. There are also many other missing pieces of information, such as no date context in the opening. What boom? Post-WWII? The pre-S&L 1980s? When — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.17.138 (talk) 22:40, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * From my understanding Vickery Meadow IS the VMID. It is a grouping of apartment complexes, so broadly you could say it's a neighborhood. But there's no homeowners association. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:55, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * This is years later, but what often happens is that there is no single set of boundaries; it would depend on which organization or agency they're talking about. The Vickery Midtown Public Improvement District may have its own boundaries, but others may define Vickery Midtown differently. As for boom time, the buildings were developed in the 1970s. The changes in population came after 1989. WhisperToMe (talk) 11:51, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

 * A reference originating from a government portal, confirming that the name has been changed, would be best.     Spintendo       00:22, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Requested move 20 October 2019

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved as proposed, without express opposition. bd2412 T 00:31, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Vickery Midtown, Dallas → Vickery Meadow, Dallas – The area is called Vickery Meadow or Vickery Meadows, not Vickery Midtown. Official information from city government documentation. Midtown designation is specifically for business and organizations using this name, not official name of area. City of Dallas designates the area as Meadows.

 * Comment There is an improvement district, but not sure what they use. Might be good to get dates of the relevant city hall documents. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:18, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
 * The Vickery Midtown name comes from the "Vickery Public Improvement District" which used to be the "Vickery Meadow Public Improvement District", the basis for the neighborhood. However I would not definitively keep the article here unless there's evidence the Dallas city government in 2019 recognized the name change. It's true other documents may refer to the Vickery Meadow PID but they may be older documents. I think the name change was recent. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:24, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Update - Seems like Dallas city hall is acknowledging the new name, and the new name is an initiative of the public improvement district: http://www.chamberorganizer.com/eastdallas/docs/2017_10_Bond_Program_Info_Guide_FINAL_compressed.pdf "Vickery Meadow Branch Library. $7,700,000. Design and construct a new branch library to serve the. Vickery Meadow/Midtown area at 8255 Park Lane." The Meadow name seems to be more common in that particular document, but I bet "Midtown" will be more common as time passes. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:03, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
