Mayberry Village

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable urban area with absolutely no citations full of unencyclopedic content. Can't find good data for the population of Mayberry, but East Hartford, which Mayberry is a part of, has a population of only 50,000. drt1245 (talk) 20:48, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment It seems that an old version of the page had some references, but now the links are either dead or not available in my country. I'm leaning towards deletion and if anything can be salvaged include it in the East Hartford, Connecticut article. Editing with Eric (talk) 21:44, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi ! Many thanks for the tip about the previous version! I checked using archive.org and here's what I found. Reference #1 "Bridge Project To Cause Headaches," is a trivial mention and does not meet WP:GEOLAND#2. Reference #2 is not in archive.org.  Reference #3 "Police investigate assault in East Hartford," does not mention Mayberry.  Reference #4 Lost in dialectic:Acritical introduction to urbanspace in greater Hartford, 1633-2010," is WP:OR but it does have a bibliography.  "Mayberry" appears four times, it might be worth tracking down some of the references in the bibliography.  I have not yet looked for WP:RS references for this article, so they might be out there.

 * Delete/redirect Appears to be an actual neighborhood, but no evidence that it needs separate coverage from the East Hartford article. Reywas92Talk 06:21, 23 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment -- As East Hartford has a population of over 50,000, there may be scope for an article on this suburb. The content does not look inherently improbable, so that the complaint seems to be the lack of references.  Tag as needing references.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:24, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes I expect at least it could be merged per WP:GEOLAND.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 18:19, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Article needs work, but clearly an established area of East Hartford dating from 1942 built as part of WW2 war effort.Djflem (talk) 22:20, 27 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep per Djflem. The "EAST HARTFORD SEEKS IMPROVED MAYBERRY VILLAGE", Hartford Courant article, suffices for me, showing it is a long-recognized area, a populated place of history. Interesting other factoid about racial mix, or nearly lack thereof, from another source.--Doncram (talk) 10:37, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per above discussion and WP:SIGCOV. While many developments, projects, and estates are not notable, this neighborhood appears to pass WP:GNG. I would not oppose a merger. Bearian (talk) 20:50, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. KartikeyaS (talk) 06:43, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
