Article does not establish notability. No in depth coverage from secondary sources; in text citations only reference subject in passing with a lack of detail related to the subject. Also, article was originally created by blocked userRowEpict who is a suspected sock puppet of D62943. Dfadden (talk) 11:48, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete: There is no doubt that it is sometimes described as Canberra's Chinatown and even has a statue of Confucius, which was inaugurated by Jon Stanhope, a great supporter of public art. On the other there are Chinese restaurants everywhere in Canberra as there are in other Australian cities. It is true that it has the biggest concentration of Chinese groceries in Canberra, but all of this text is in the Dickson Centre, Australian Capital Territory article, which is sufficient. I'll take a better photo some day.--Grahame (talk) 01:48, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per Grahame. The term "Chinatown" isn't commonly applied to Dickson, and this is best covered as part of the article on the suburb. Nick-D (talk) 22:36, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have now added a couple of pictures of it to the Dickson Centre, Australian Capital Territory article.--Grahame (talk) 01:14, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete then redirect per above. Essence of the article is that the place sells vegetables and has limited parking, neither are inherently notable.► Philg88 ◄ star.png 05:24, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete It is not a Chinatown as such, merely an area which happens to have more Chinese shops than the average, and that much is covered in the appropriate article as noted by Grahame. Orderinchaos 17:07, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
