Blueberry Hill is not a "community" in any sense of the word. All of the other CDPs listed in Bee County have post offices, fire departments etc. and are organized communities. Blueberry Hill is a small subdivision with absolutely no services or organization of it's own. It is part of Beeville and should be considered such. The article should be deleted.

 * Comment. And furthermore, if we are going to allow subdivisions to be listed as communities, why not include Capehart, or any of the other subdivisions surrounding Beeville and other towns?  It's allowing un-noteworthy articles on Wikipedia. Vandersontx (talk) 02:56, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. I can assure you that the other communities listed do have their own organizations (ie fire, post office).  Blueberry Hill is considered part of Beeville and the only reason it received CDP status in the first place is the neighborhood is considered a Colonia_(United_States) and needed to be monitored by the state.  At the very least, the article should be merged with Beeville, Texas. Vandersontx (talk) 02:51, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. If we're going to list CDPs (and I think we should) we should not overlay our own inconsistent criteria on top of the official criteria established by the census bureau.  I also don't think the nominator's comments are accurate; Tulsita, for example, doesn't appear to have a post office either, and several of the others don't appear to be large enough to support fre departments etc.  As references indicate, the location is also recognized by the USGS as well.

 * Speedy Keep as all census designated places have been deemed notable and this general notability does not vary on a county by county basis. - Dravecky (talk) 17:55, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: This is not a second nomination. It appears the "first" nomimation, made moments before the "second", is merely a botched attempt at a single nomination. - Dravecky (talk) 17:57, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Putting aside that all population centers are notable, even the United States Census Bureau content on this place establishes notability.--Oakshade (talk) 23:07, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
