Danada, Illinois

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Attempts to find reliable sources to support this article have been fruitless. The one reference describes a section of forest preserve that is described (appropriately) at Forest Preserve District of DuPage County. If this is a single subdivision in suburban Chicago, it doesn't meet notability. Fitnr 02:54, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

 * It meets notability if there is enough to say about it. -- do ncr  am  06:56, 17 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep, probably, unless it can be established the historic racetrack was historically within the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County (but is the Danada Forest Preserve properly a part of that or not?), and develop. It seems to be a historical racetrack, i.e. I think there may have been a racetrack named Danada Racetrack, or at least there was a racetrack there.  Perhaps the article needs to be refocused on the Danada Racetrack?  And once notable, always notable.  Consistent with what's covered in article.  Searching the NYT on just "Danada" brings up multiple horses named "Danada Flash", "Danada Gift", etc. which raced all over in 1947, 1948, 1949: e.g. "Danada Captain wins at Garden State".  There remains a Danada Equestrian Center, which the the current Forest Preserve District of DuPage County says was created in 1984.  The Forest Preserve District was founded in 1915 and got its first 79 acres in 1917 (which is not a huge area).  If it contained the historic racetrack area--which is doubtful because a racetrack is not forest to be preserved--I agree the racetrack could be covered in that. -- do  ncr  am  06:27, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * There is complementary article Dan and Ada Rice whose "Thoroughbred racing" section mentions a half-mile training track that still exists today, on the 1,350-acre Danada Farm. The Danada House is an "estate" house and the Danada Farm both seem notable places which the Danada, Illinois article can cover as places, differently than they can be mentioned within in an article about the people.  A 1/2 mile historical racetrack that still exists is a place that needs to be described and explained, linking to the Dan and Ada Rice article of course. -- do  ncr  am  06:34, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Well the "Danada map" which can be downloaded from here shows that the Danada Forest Preserve includes a racetrack (presumably "the" racetrack) and the Dana House. The Danada Forest Preserve could be a separate article, or part of a combo article with the Danada, Illinois area as a census district (consistent with "Keep" decision).  Or at least it needs to be a proper section of the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County article which currently lists the Dana House within educational stuff.  It is not covered adequately there currently. -- do  ncr  am  06:51, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete because the 1 Keep Cote is based with if this actually exists and yet my searches have found next to nothing at all, the one listed link would still not be enough to confidently confirm its existence thus Delete is best here or else we are going to have a still questionable article.

 * Delete as hoax. The user has made a series of questionable edits creating pages for non-existent places in Illinois. I'm surprised they lasted this long. Smartyllama (talk) 16:58, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as a hoax. Edison (talk) 17:31, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable locale. Calling it a populated place is a hoax. It's there as a former homestead and that's about it. • Gene93k (talk) 20:12, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
