Meadowvale (village)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a neighbourhood within a city, not properly referenced as passing WP:GEOLAND. The rule for populated places is basically that the city itself is inherently notable, while the individual neighbourhoods within the city get their own standalone articles only if they can be well-referenced to enough reliable source coverage to properly establish that they actually have any standalone notability independent of the city. But of the three "references" that were here before I initiated this discussion, all were garbage that had to be struck: one was a circular reference to another Wikipedia article, and the other two were both badly formatted (in completely different ways) links to the same self-published website of a school in the neighbourhood -- which means zero of them were to reliable or notability-supporting sources at all.

 * Keep. ISBN 9780972343602 page 242 identifies this as a former town, and as a former village, and  notability is not temporary, so WP:GEOLAND is passed. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:59, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: Per Bridger.  Also, I found this. --David Tornheim (talk) 22:26, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment, people/stuff aren't usually reported on as being (insert name) of (neighbourhood/subdivision) unless the city is also included, googs has numerous snips of people/stuff being of "Meadowville, Ontario" eg. A National Soul: Canadian Mural Paintings, 1860s-1930s (2002) - "In 1906 Frederick Haines painted a mural for the public school in Meadowvale, Ontario ..", American Peony Scociety Bulletin (1958) - "Miss Minerva Castle, Rowancroft Gardens, Meadovale, Ontario, Canada.", Peel County United Churches - church records, from National Gallery of Canada website - "Georges Chavignaud .. Died Canada: Ontario, Meadowvale 1944-05-03", American Short-horn Herd Book (1920) - "Index to Breeders and Owner Fraser, W. P., Meadowvale, Ontario", Canadian National Record for Swine (1918) - ".. farrowed the property of James B Ross, Meadowvale, Ont...", Shorthorn Country (1984) - "bred and owned by Sanford Farms, Meadowvale, Ontario.", Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of York, Ontario (1907) - "His next residence was in Meadowvale, and he remained there for some time...", Ukraine in a changing world (1977) - "The Redemptorists operate St. Vladmimir's College for Boys in Roblin, Manitoba and a novitiate in Meadowvale, Ontario.", so Meadowvale was identifiable as a seperate place/village before it was gobbled up by Mississauga, additionaly there are books/lets about Meadowvale including Meadowvale and Churchville: A History (1975), and A Souvenir of the Village of Meadowvale-on-the-Credit (1904)/A Souvenir of the Village of Meadowvale-on-the-Credit: Described and Illustrated (1904), oh, and being the first Heritage Conservation District in Ontario is also a plus, so with the sources revealed by the above editors, this meets WP:NGEO and is a Keep from me.

 * Keep, Meadowvale is the first Heritage Conservation District in Ontario, a protection status conferred on an entire neighbourhood, from landscape to buildings. It is also the primary subject of  a 315 page book. --  Zanimum (talk) 19:22, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
