This unreferenced article does not appear more notable then any other neighborhood in America. Other then as a target for vandalism I can see no reason for Wikipedia to have an article about it. Reference checks on Ghits are low and mostly blogs. The article does contain 3 spam links, It was proposed Prod, the prod was decline with a recomendation of merge  I attempted the merge, the merge had a single vocal opposer. The extensive debate can be viewed at Talk:East Oakland, Oakland, California. If the community believes this article should be deleted or merged they may also want to consider the list of neighborhoods at East Oakland, Oakland, California. I leave it to Wikipedia to decide I am taking them all off my watch list. Jeepday (talk) 04:21, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to East Oakland, Oakland, California. The use within blogs and such suggests that it's mainly a localized term, and the *shudder* Green Day ref hints at notability, but there's just not enough for it to stand on its own.

 * Merge my reasons have been stated at various locations throughout the debate.-- J UDE talk 06:23, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Jeepday, I looked at the history and I do not see where you actually attempted a merge. In fact I'm tempted to close this AFD ("articles for deletion") discussion and merge this topic of Jingletown to East Oakland myself. — CharlotteWebb 17:06, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi CharlotteWebb, thank you for giving me a chance to respond. I placed a merge tag on the potential receiving article  and fairly quickly got a positive response from Jude.   Jude suggested a full out merge of all the neighborhoods, which on review of the articles seemed appropriate, but a fairly big move.  I placed merge tags on all the related pages   ,etc  and I wanted to wait a couple days to address any concerns. This lead to the extensive debate on Talk:East Oakland, Oakland, California that showed no signs of resolution. So I bring it here for the community to decide. Jeepday (talk) 19:07, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Let me clarify. If you agreed that the article should be merged, there was no reason for you to nominate it for deletion. — CharlotteWebb 01:48, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge per above. Arbustoo 18:57, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. I am persuaded by some of the arguments on Talk:East Oakland, Oakland, California that there are reasons for keeping this article. In particular the weight of evidence supplied by this section: "*Story about name from cannery workers and jingling coins:
 * Presence of art district and artists:, , ,
 * Latino population:
 * Cotton mill:
 * New housing:, , " SilkTork 18:41, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
