The result was   keep. No consensus for deletion, but the keep "votes" are still a bit weak. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:38, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Ducktown, Atlantic City

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

Non-Notable neighborhood in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The article reads more like a tourist brochure. Dancing is Forbidden (talk) 00:24, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, real place, so at least minimally notable. The tourist brochure section can be trimmed down. J I P  | Talk 06:26, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge into Atlantic City, New Jersey, I do not think that it is notable enough for its own article. I think that neighborhoods should generally not get articles that are separate from their city or town. However, redirects are acceptable - the redirects should include the city's name and the state or province, like "Ducktown, Atlantic City, New Jersey". -- Kjkolb (talk) 08:41, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * "Neighbourhoods should generally not get articles that are separate from their city or town"? We have plenty of articles about individual neighbourhoods. See for example Category:Neighbourhoods of Helsinki. J I P  | Talk 09:41, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and re-direct. The WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS argument is not persuasive. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:14, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * To what WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS argument are you responding to? --Oakshade (talk) 23:08, 24 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong keep Plenty of notability . ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:02, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of notability.Dino Velvet 8MM (talk) 02:10, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I have added information from a 2,000-word newspaper article about the neighborhood. I see many other 500+ word articles about the neighborhood (not just casually mentioning it), including the Philadelphia Inquirer, several more in AC's local paper, and the NYT and Baltimore Sun. Neighborhoods, like most things, are notable if they've been given meaningful coverage in reliable sources. --Chiliad22 (talk) 14:01, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - It is a distinctive neighborhood and the coverage indicated by Chiliad22 is substantial. --Oakshade (talk) 15:37, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - The anti-WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS argument is not persuasive. (Sorry, Niteshift36, I couldn't resist)  shirulashem     (talk)   01:20, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Per Chilidad. Mrs. Wolpoff (talk) 12:57, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - has references, therefore is notable. For the "brochure" problem, the ad template should be placed at the top, and then appropriate corrections can be made. Sebwite (talk) 00:33, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * In lieu of tags I think we could just blank everything but the "hotels" and "transportation" sections. Those two sections mention notable buildings and developments in the neighborhood, while the other sections are indeed more of a tourist guide kind of thing, at least in their current state. --Chiliad22 (talk) 23:45, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
