Proposed for deletion, deleted by me. Author contacted me to ask to restore it, so I did, and automatically placed it on AfD. No vote from me, this is a routine nomination. J I P | Talk 01:49, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge in a suitable target. The article is verifiable by multiple independent references. It might be too short for its own entry, but that's really a good reason for deletion. - Mgm|(talk) 09:35, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - being a stub is not a criterion for deletion. It's a criterion for expansion. Wily D  14:28, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - I agree that the article should be expanded or possibly merged, though there is no obvious other place to merge it. I believe notability is established via the references as well as growing use in real estate (try a Google search of "rambo brooklyn").  Compare with BoCoCa, another stub article about a fairly silly-named (but legitimate) geographical area in Brooklyn.  N.b., I live in the area in question (as will thousands more once the bubble-era towers here and nearby are occupied). Martensitic (talk) 16:14, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge in a suitable target.A naming contest on a blog is not exactly an overwhelming source. A small feature quoting a single random person in a weekly lifestyle magazine is not convincing corroboration.  Other articles quoting realtors as sources should consider such people potentially have a strong incentive to parcel out increasingly smaller names for sections of existing neighborhoods.  There is a case to be made for inclusion within the Vinegar Hill article as Bridge Plaza, and perhaps  mentioning 'RAMBO' as an informal name.  The existence of other realtor-sponsored neighborhood names (e.g., BoCoCa) are not by themselves valid reasons to perpetuate what may be construed to be a dubious practice.  N.b., I live in the surrounding area.. Dream-king (talk) 21:16, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think the article needs work but it should stay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.173.251.61 (talk) 21:12, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
