to who ever wants this page to be deleted.... why would you feel the need to delete it? everything written is factual information. There are websites that can verify the information I am just not familiar with how this stuff works yet and I haven't figured out how to add links and pictures and stuff like that. but I assure you that this information is all real and up to date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RochesterItalian88 (talk • contribs) 15:56, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I should just point out that there has been no effort to at least inform the article creator, directly or even via a few maintenance tags, what it might take to WP:PRESERVE the article. Instead, it was tagged for deletion within 3 mins. of creation. Somewhat WP:BITEy and not a very informative Panda, if you ask me. The article is not in great shape and there are few reliable sources that I can find. WP:GEOLAND does require them for "populated places without legal recognition," such as this neighbourhood seems to be. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:39, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi there and welcome. This is sort of what I was saying above. It's a disappointing introduction to Wikipedia, I know. The nominator is right that right now it doesn't look as if it meets WP:GNG, I'm afraid. And I say that as someone who used to live in Little Italy, Montreal and still goes there all the time to shop and drink espresso. So it would be great if you could track down some reliable sources, articles or books, that talk about the history of Little Italy in Rochester. I do suggest we WP:Userfy this if RochesterItalian88 wants to keep working on it. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:11, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - per the "about us" link found on the website provided by the article author, this is a self-named area for marketing purposes which, as-yet, does not even have official recognition from the town itself. Article appears to have been created as part of campaign to gain recognition. As Wikipedia is a tertiary source, the recognition needs to come first, then we can develop the article. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:56, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Userfy->AfC From what is here it isn't possible to know if there is a chance of developing a WP article from this. I must say that the "about us" link gives me doubts. But this is a good situation for AfC, where the editor can get help creating an article proposal that at least follows WP style. LaMona (talk) 03:17, 11 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete There's been no improvement and I was unsuccessful last month in finding much that would elevate this neighbourhood to the level of notability required here. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:15, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
 * delete I think that's right. The project to develop a restaurant/entertainment district has gotten some press, but whle I wish them luck, there need to be more sources before there can be an article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:56, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
