Environmental Injustice in East Boston

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is written like an essay or opinion. Is this notable enough for an encyclopedia entry? Gbawden (talk) 11:05, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete – Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Articles based entirely on original research have no place on Wikipedia. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 19:44, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete: This is entirely an essay. The contributor is a SPA whose sole Wikipedia activity this is, and I invite her to put this up on a blog, where it'd be a better fit.   Ravenswing   15:36, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Ravenswing and Gbawden.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:33, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as a POV, OR, SYNTH, SOAP, essay/blog. It's pretty much axiomatically true that poorer people tend to live in the less salubrious parts of town - there's nothing particularly remarkable about the same phenomenon occurring in Boston. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 14:48, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - POV title. That there has been pollution or environmental shenanigans in a place does not necessarily imply the overarching thesis of this original essay. Perhaps if there were coverage akin to Love Canal about systemic abuse, then some sort of NPOV title could be hammered out and the subject approached, but this ain't it. Violation of the prohibition against OR, in my opinion. Carrite (talk) 16:16, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - oibviously  an essay  or original  thought. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:01, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per above a clear POV ,OR essay.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 15:35, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
