 * This one was a stub with scope for expansion, as demonstrated. (There's even more to be had on the 19th century use from that source, so scope for further expansion still, exists.)  The road editors completely missed the wood for the trees again.  Uncle G (talk) 22:23, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep - This is a major traffic circle at the junction of prominent streets in Washington, D.C., and a contributing park to the Sixteenth Street Historic District (link)and L'Enfant Plan (link), both listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The article needs expansion with sources, not deletion. There's a book about The Neighborhoods of Logan, Scott, and Thomas Circles and it's covered in L'Enfant's Legacy: Public Open Spaces in Washington, D.C. There are also news articles including "District's 'Face Lifting' Cost $40,000,000 in '40" from The Washington Post, and 1 2, 3 from the Evening Star (notability doesn't exclude using old sources).

 * Keep. The Bednar book alone has, what, more than five or six pages on Scott Circle. Clearly notable, and there are lots of interesting things to write up. Drmies (talk) 15:08, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Drmies, there's significant coverage here. Hog Farm Talk 14:00, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:HEY. While I don't have access to the book sources, I will assume good faith and that they do cover the subject. Meets WP:GNG.
 * Keep. Don't know what this article looked like before, but at present it is a well-developed and well-referenced work covering its topic in considerable depth. --JBL (talk) 15:32, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
