No sources, and the notability and even existence of the topic are questionable. Much of the article's "notability" seems to arise from the place's (supposed) appearance on "Jackass", and as such the majority of the edits to the article are vandalism based on this. scooteytalk 05:16, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. No reliable sources = no article.  JBsupreme (talk) 08:03, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment. Practice has shown that geographic locality articles are notable per se, but there are no sources that this place is legally recognized (I don't know what is the exact status of US unincorporated communities. —Admiral Norton (talk) 11:08, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Now that sources are here... —Admiral Norton (talk) 20:15, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Greenwich Unincorporated communities are generally considered notable, but the way in which Connecticut unincorporated communities (specifically, communities within minor civil divisions) are generally treated, it makes me wonder if they're not the same as the unincorporated communities that are generally treated this way. If the article treats it like a neighborhood, we should treat it as one and merge or redirect to the larger entity.  Nyttend (talk) 01:01, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment If this is to be merged, the appropriate target is Cos Cob. Mianus is essentially a subsection of the Cos Cob neighborhood that is further away from the coast. --Polaron | Talk 01:04, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

 * I defer to Polaron for the merge target. Nyttend (talk) 20:24, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep unincorporated communities within towns are notable - now there are sources in the article and it is recognized by the USGS as a community and has its own census code - so somewhere in the USA people consider this a place. It probably should be renamed Mianus, Connecticut. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:27, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Note to closer: the article has been rewritten and sourced since the delete !votes were made. Make sure that there is a consensus to delete the article in its current form. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 01:39, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are sources in this, so you can't argue based on "no sources". The town is IMO notable. darkweasel94 (talk) 13:51, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - this town IS notable, definitively. There are sources in this article, don't know why it should be deleted. --84.56.206.225 (talk) 13:59, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
