The result was   redirect to Fort Wayne, Indiana. There is no presumption of notability under WP:NPLACE for this neighborhood, which fails to satisfy the general notabiity guideline through the absence of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Redirect since there is no consensus to delete and no sourced content suitable for a merge. Philg88 ♦talk 06:16, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

I couldn't establish that this is WP:NOTABLE. It is possibly worth redirecting somewhere, but I'm unsure where the best redirect target would be. CAT:NN, particularly Category:Articles with topics of unclear notability from August 2008 has numerous articles on places in Fort Wayne, which have been sitting with notability tags on them for over six years and I'm unsure if any of them can meet notability criteria.

 * Comment, , how does it meet WP:NPLACE? NPLACE is not a guideline or policy, but an essay, and it states that: Larger neighborhoods are usually kept if their names are found to have verifiable widespread usage. Smaller suburbs are generally merged, being listed under the primary city article, except when they consist of legally separate municipalities or communes (e.g., having their own governments). My understanding is that (by this essay, which we have to be careful about quoting at AfD), it should be merged, perhaps to Fort Wayne, unless it is established that it counts as a 'larger neighbourhood', in which case we would need sources to back it up that it is a larger neighbourhood and confirm 'verifiable widespread usage.' However, we should mainly be discussing the relevant guideline, which is Places of local interest. Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 05:39, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge to Fort Wayne, Indiana. 'Automatic notability' applies primarily to populated places, a neighborhood doesn't fall under the Five Pillars' remit of Wikipedia-as-gazzetteer. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:54, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Fort Wayne, Indiana. Appears to be an unofficial/ungazetted neighbourhood that exists primarily by local convention.  Such neighbourhoods can still be notable where they meet the WP:GNG, but this one doesn't seem to, I was only able to find a thin assortment of directory entries that refer to it.  Merge not appropriate as the content is unsourced, but if something can be found to demonstrate its existence it may be worth a brief mention in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
