Miller Beach Arts and Creative District

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Speedy tag removed by an IP that appears unconnected to the article creator or article subject, so bringing this here. Unreferenced, promotional article for an area that does not demonstrate how it meets notability criteria. No news hits, one possibly reliable source found, though that source only confirms that this district exists and what its planners' aims are. Existence ≠ Notability. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 17:01, 12 May 2011 (UTC) edited 17:05, 12 May 2011 (UTC) to strike "unreferenced", as refs were added as I was typing up this nomination. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk

 * Delete NN organization/area. Article written to promote the area. Claim to fame is that a famous author (De Beauvoir) once purportedly lived there. That does not confer notability to the place. Article extensively expanded by COI user of an organization doing promotional work. -- Alexf(talk) 18:53, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Follow-up: While I applaud the article creator's efforts to improve the article, most of the content that has been added since this AfD was opened speaks to the notability of Miller Beach itself, not this arts district, and some of it might be useful for inclusion in that article. According to the one possibly reliable source I identified in the nomination rationale, as of 5 May 2011, this district was in the "tentative plans" stage. While including noteworthy events that happened there before the establishment of the arts district are great facts, they don't establish how the arts district has independent notability from Miller Beach or Gary, Indiana. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 19:21, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
