Bucktown, Davenport

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The page has been unsourced for over 2 years. In all my very extensive work for Davenport, Iowa, History of Davenport, Iowa, and Neighborhoods of Davenport, Iowa, I never came across anything about Bucktown, therefore it isn't very notable. C T J F 8 3 chat 00:47, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep/Merge - I have found evidence of this "Bucktown" in the following sources;, , , , , , , . I believe this "Bucktown" does indeed exist but is it notable enough to stand as its own article, i'll let you decide since you are a Davenport expert. - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 01:07, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Links 7 and 8 are referring to the Bucktown Arts Center, which I think is just piggy-backing off the name of the old district. I'll have to look at the book results later, and respond to those. C T J F 8 3  chat 01:18, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Links 1 and 2 are the same thing and appear to be some anecdote that mentions Bucktown trivially, wouldn't be very useful to an article. But source 3 appears to be an entire chapter, all about Bucktown, in an academic book (UNC Press)... really the best sort of source to look for in writing a WP article. 4 is the same source again, 5 is a beer that co-opts the name, 6 seems like a primary source with a casual mention. Link 3/4 is promising though. --Sancho Mandoval (talk) 03:19, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Sancho for going through those. If it is decided that Bucktown is notable enough, but not for its own page, I'd add a section to probably the History of Davenport page mentioned in my opening. C T J F 8 3  chat 07:43, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you both for looking through the sources and determining which were helpful or not. - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 22:02, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep on the basis of the sources that have been found.    DGG ( talk ) 18:23, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - the sourcing is weak, but appears to show that this neighbourhood did once exist. However, a merge into History of Davenport, Iowa might be preferable. Robofish (talk) 22:06, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Sources have been found and sources were the nom's stated reason for this AfD. --Oakshade (talk) 04:28, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, one acceptable source has been found, that I have only skimmed. Someone (preferably with a grasp of Davenport history, unlike me) needs to actually read the source to see how much information it actually has about the history of Bucktown. I'd think a merge might be in order unless someone can do that. --Sancho Mandoval (talk) 14:41, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * When I get some time I'll skim over the book and will most likely merge this to the history of Davenport page. C T J F 8 3  chat 21:59, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
