Five Points, Delaware

 * – ( View AfD View log )

AN intersection at the north end of Belltown, whose name has more recently been co-opted by a development. Delaware Place Names calls it a locality and as best I can tell, nobody disagrees. Mangoe (talk) 18:20, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - I'm turning up a location in Philly, passing mentions to Five Points as an intersection, and a housing development named "Villages of Five Points" that doesn't seem to be notable. This is not a notable location. Hog Farm Talk 22:13, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep There is a Property Owners Association indicating an actual community. More coverage:   . Alternatively you could merge with Belltown, Delaware, since it is nearby but seems to be a separate community.
 * A POA just means there are covenants, and in any case it has nothing to do with any historic community, not that there ever was one. If you want an article on this subdivision as a planned community, write an article on that, but don't co-opt this one. Mangoe (talk) 02:25, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't see the issue: there isn't much to co-opt, as it is a stub, and Five Points is the name of the development. Delaware is unusual in that, unlike in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, unincorporated land is not part of a township. There may thus be more of a need for articles on subdivisions in Delaware because the information cannot be redirected to a township (or borough)'s article. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 11:56, 6 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete Nothing more than a named intersection that's often used as a landmark. There's no distinct legally-recognized community here, and I'm not seeing GNG-level coverage of either the intersection or the namesake subdivision as required by WP:GEOLAND. –dlthewave ☎ 22:32, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
