Blok Tempe

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Evidence of encyclopedic notability seems lacking. There are a lot of buildings once known as a hangout for gangs and criminal elements that have been redeemed. I can't read the two cited sources but I think that we need a stronger claim than that presented in the article. A Google is pretty much useless given my language limitations, but if serious in depth coverage of this building from multiple reliable sources can be shown, I would be willing to reconsider the nomination. For now though, I am not seeing GNG and or GEOFEAT here. Evidence to the contrary is welcomed... Ad Orientem (talk) 17:33, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Based on the same article at the Indonesian Wikipedia it appears to be an area (residential area rather than single residence) with a particular historical significance in association with crime. There are additional sources cited on that wiki that may help, though I'm only going by the Google Translated version so hardly feel qualified to use them. Regardless, it appears to satisfy notability requirements. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  |  20:01, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
 * The existence of an article on another Wiki is not evidence of notability since standards between the various Wikis can vary, often dramatically. I remain open to the possibility of notability if actual sources can be found that satisfy GNG. -Ad Orientem (talk) 00:13, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Indeed, but nobody argued the existence of an article on another wiki is evidence of notability. The significance is (a) it provides clarification that the subject of the article is a named city neighborhood/area with cultural/historical significance -- usually notable topics (i.e. typically receive coverage in reliable sources), and (b) the other article provides several sources. I can't get a good idea of what sources exist because I don't speak the language, but the sources cited in addition to the clarification of what the subject of the article is make me confident that it satisfies notability guidelines (which require the existence of sources, in any language). --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  |  02:56, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - and definitelt based on the same article at the Indonesian Wikipedia it seems to have an historical significance.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:25, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
