Concourse, Bronx

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is nothing more than a Wikipedia invention. It's not even original research as there simply is no such thing as a "Concourse" neighborhood. Article sourcing indicates that there are "West Concourse" and "East Concourse" and "Concourse Village" neighborhoods, but they are too small to support their own article. Only sourcing is a report from Community Board 4, and that sourcing is inadequate as CB 4 includes an entire different neighborhood, Highbridge. I raised this issue on the talk page a month ago, and tagged its issues, but there was no reply. I also sought to rescue the article by editing ("cluster of neighborhoods" was my language) but it is unsalvageable. There is neither a neighborhood nor "cluster of neighborhoods" called "Concourse." There is of course the Grand Concourse, but it goes through numerous neighborhoods. ScottyBerg (talk) 13:39, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment No idea how to proceed on judging this topic's notability, but a Google search suggests that this neighborhood exists. There's also this huge PDF on the neighborhood from Big Apple Greeters: The PDF lists the same street boundaries for "Concourse Village" as this article on "Concourse" does, so they appear to be referring to the same thing. Any other thoughts?  ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  14:35, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I've also just read your post on the talk page and you seem to be aware of this, so I may be a bit off the mark with my comment above. Am I right in inferring that your concern is that there is a "Concourse Village" (I'm totally unfamiliar with the Bronx) but there is no such thing as "Concourse"? ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  14:37, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That's right. Concourse Village is a long-established housing complex. This article contends that there is an entire neighborhood called "Concourse," which just isn't so. That link relates just to Concourse Village. It's possible Concourse Vilage may warrant an article. ScottyBerg (talk) 15:24, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay, gotcha. Sorry for misunderstanding you at first. I'm adding a delete vote below. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  16:20, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per above conversation with nominator and his original points here and on the article's talk page. I can't find any evidence that "Concourse" exists. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  16:20, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - it can not be verified, and does not exist except in Realtors' ads. Um, folks, it just doesn't exist. ;-) Bearian (talk) 20:38, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
