New River, Nanjing

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable. Largely based on the encyclopaedia Baidu Baike which like WP is crowd sourced so not reliable. The other source is a local directory which supports little of the content or does nothing to indicate notability. Numerous searches have turned up little, just a few nearby businesses and other buildings, while the Chinese WP version is a stub with a dead link as a source.

 * Delete, although I have moved the information over to User:CaroleHenson/New River to mine for information for the Jianye District article - which I will add when or if I am able to come up with better sources.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 19:41, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment As I've been working on another article within the Jianye District, I keep running across "Hexi New City" on the web and in wikipedia, with Nanjing International Expo Center in the center of it. I'm wondering if "Hexi New City" is the same location as "New River".-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 05:29, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Hexi (河西), literally west of the river, is not the same as 新河, New River. You might find the reference in my !vote below useful for the Jianye District article. Philg88 ♦talk 05:51, 13 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete The town doesn't appear as an official subdivision of the Jianye District according to the National Bureau of Statistics of the People's Republic of China. See this link. Thereby fails verifiability. No reliable source found to justify retention as a stub, probably an informal name for part of the Jianye District used by locals. The Baidu and Aibang references are not considered reliable and I can find no others. Philg88 ♦talk 05:51, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
