Del Cerro, San Diego, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

None of the sources listed in the article demonstrate any notability for this neighborhood outside of the context of San Diego, the city. We need not have individual articles on every named neighborhood of San Diego just because some of them may be notable; this one appears to be rather unremarkable in all respects.

 * Merge - It dopes not seem to be in any way unremarkable, but just another suburban-ish development. There is information worth keeping, and it is cited, but it seems to be part of the larger Navajo, San Diego, California area.  Merger is the usual result for such things, rather than deletion.

 * Keep Del Cerro is a well established and well known neighborhood of San Diego, recognized by the city and often reported on in the local paper. You need more sources? OK, I added some. But Del Cerro is a notable neighborhood and should be kept. (And who says a neighborhood has to be notable "outside of the context of San Diego"? Notability is notability; there's no requirement that it has to be famous nationwide; only that it receive significant coverage in independent reliable sources - in this case including the regional papers San Diego Union Tribune and San Diego Daily Transcript.) BTW about "Navajo": the city lumps Del Cerro, San Carlos, Grantville and Allied Gardens together for planning purposes into an area they call Navajo, but Navajo is purely an administrative concept - not a recognized community like Del Cerro and the others. You'll never hear someone say they live in "Navajo", or see the newspaper report that a crime happened in "the Navajo neighborhood" - they will always say Del Cerro, San Carlos, etc. --MelanieN (talk) 05:33, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Officially recognized neighborhood of a major city, with plenty of references. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 07:51, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * We are not looking for quantity of references, but quality. The references in the article are all fairly superficial, or else not third-party.  Powers T 18:20, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't understand your criticism of the references. At least three of them are full-length news stories from the San Diego Union-Tribune about issues involving the Del Cerro neighborhood. --MelanieN (talk) 21:21, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see you added some since I made the nomination. However, I still maintain that local news coverage does not equate to extensive coverage in third-party sources -- not for purposes of WP:N, at least.  Powers T 22:01, 12 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Well-established, distinct, upscale neighborhood in a canyon community of San Diego; not just another suburb. Maybe the article could be fleshed out a bit more to clearly show Del Cerro's uniqueness. --AuthorAuthor (talk) 14:23, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep on the basis of improvements to sourcing and text by MelanieN. Bearian (talk) 18:22, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
