 * Symbol voting keep.svg Age and size ok, earwigs copyvio clear, offline sources for hook accepted in good faith. I find it a little odd to have the subject as a former neighbourhood yet the article is written in the present tense. But this has been debated elsewhere so doesn't overly worry me. Only other minor issue is I don't understand from the article how it doesn't exist now. But not a dealbreaker so good to go. Also, as Frutiger is identifiued as "Swiss" as opposed to his two colleagues as "Jewish", does that imply he is a gentile? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:05, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi thanks for your review and observations. I adopted this "former neighborhood" phrasing in response to another editor's notice on my Zikhron Tuvya article; these historic neighborhoods in and around Jaffa Road were founded independently in the late 1800s, and afterwards were conglomerated into one big neighborhood called Nachlaot. All the buildings still exist but only tour guides know they are part of a former neighborhood, so that's why I wrote it in the present tense. I will adjust the verbs if you say so. I changed Frutiger to Swiss-Christian. Yoninah (talk) 12:00, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I am not so fussed about the tense. If it feels better to you in the present, I'd just leave as is Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:08, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. I am changing the lead to call it a "historic neighborhood", which it is. Yoninah (talk) 15:36, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
