Districts of Guam

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The neighborhoods (or "subdivisions") described in the article are simply not known as districts. The description and definition of "districts" in this article is totally inaccurate. Such a list has no value as an article. HkCaGu (talk) 11:53, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment The article clearly says they're unofficial. If there's a problem with the word "district", then why not change it to "neighborhood" or "subdivision"? 207.34.229.126 (talk) 20:52, 4 July 2008 (UTC)


 * It can be done, but to maintain accuracy, pretty much all of the textual description has to be deleted, and the remaining list of subdivisions is so incomplete that it's useless and un-encyclopedic. HkCaGu (talk) 04:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Skomorokh  00:16, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

 * And I can guarantee it can't be. Guam's divisions are called municipalities (official), villages (colloquial) or cities (post office), and smaller "neighborhoods" are called subdivisions (zoning and planning).  Electionwise, there are precincts, which are surname alphabetical ranges within a village, and the only "districts" are school board districts (four on Guam, each composed of several villages) and the at-large (whole island) district for Congressional delegate and the federal court. Therefore the article title is wrong, and the contents incomplete and meaningless. HkCaGu (talk) 03:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
