 * Comment. Was Beachmont ever a separate village? Many neighborhoods of cities trace their origins to independent villages that were eventually annexed by a nearby city. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:14, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to  as a categorized, as subject lacks non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources. Per WP:GEOLAND populated places without legal recognition such as subdivisions should be included in the more general article on the legally recognized populated place or administrative subdivision that contains it, if a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Agree if its not notable merging with Revere makes sense, assuming as Eastmain points out that is wasn't formerly a separate settlement.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 11:45, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Is it an officially-recognized place like the Community areas in Chicago? If so, keep, but otherwise redirect to Revere per User:Sam Sailor. – John M Wolfson (talk &#124; contribs) 23:11, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Revere, Massachusetts - not notable enough for a stand-alone article - does not meet WP:GNG - Epinoia (talk) 23:40, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NGEO and Eastmain's hypothetical above — it was once, in fact, a 'village' recognized as such in A Gazetteer of the State of Massachusetts (1890). הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) 03:45, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * And also in the USGS' A Geographic Dictionary of Massachusetts (1894). הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) 03:49, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * That’s village-as-neighborhood, not village-as-political-entity. Qwirkle (talk) 04:04, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the context, however, makes it clear that this was a legally recognized distinct place at the time, which is how I've understood WP:NGEO.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by הסרפד (talk • contribs) 04:21, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * No, what would make you say that? Qwirkle (talk) 04:31, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Nice finds of the two mentions, they are, howere, purely trivial. Sam Sailor 05:23, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
