Park Street District (Columbus, Ohio)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Procedural nomination per discussion at RfD: "The article [stands] almost entirely as an advertisement for unnotable businesses there, and none of the references define the subject - the 'district' doesn't actually exist as far as I can tell from references and other reading." (per Ɱ). I'm neutral on whether the article should be deleted, but it seems clear a discussion should be held. Elli (talk &#124; contribs) 02:24, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete as initial "nominator". I have not found any evidence that this is a real district; none of the sources support it, and I can't find any others. Nor is it a term among local residents. ɱ  (talk) 02:30, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. The page was created by User:Jimison5, which is a WP:SPA, see Special:Contributions/Jimison.5, my guess is that they were an experienced editor who was paid to create this article as they created a draft of article in a sandbox and then created the article.  Searching Newspapers.com for '"Park Street District" Columbus' in Ohio yields 6 hits.  Two are from 2010 about a Park Street Festival - as notability is not inherited, these two articles do not support notability for this article.  (I'm not so sure a Park Street Festival article would be notable, see WP:PRODUCTREV).  One article has a passing reference to a house, the other three are scan errors.  Searching GBooks yields some 1899 school-related hits about the Park Street District and some 1908 public works.  The other GBooks hits don't apply.  I found no WP:RS sources that are solely about this area.  WP:GNG is not met.  There is no legal recognition of the subject, nor is there any non-trivial coverage, thus #1 and #2 of WP:GEOLAND are not met.  18:00, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
