Seaport Village
It looks like this is a light self-promotion for a theme park which is quite insignificant. Falcon 06:02, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep the article does read like an ad and needs cleanup, but Googling "seaport village san diego" gives a respectable 795,000 hits. Anecdote test: I've heard of it and don't live anywhere near there. Opabinia regalis 06:39, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep but rewrite. Seaport Village is somewhat notable (and is not a theme park), but this article needs to be rewritten to look less like an ad. --Coredesat 07:34, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * strong delete this is an advert. they even list the opening times. come on now...not even close. Trm3 11:20, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. -- Xyra  e  l  T 17:22, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This needs a rewrite, not deletion fer crissakes. It's a real place with some, if slight, notability. I've de-spammified it, hopefully someone who knows SoCal will be able to extend it. Grutness...wha?  07:52, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The rewritten version doesn't clearly assert notability, can you add that? GRBerry 15:12, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually it does - it says it's a real place. That's usually enough by WP's notability standards. Consider that many of the places with WP articles simply say something like "X is a village in Peru." - they meet the criteria of being real, verifiable places. That, coupled with the half-million plus google hits for Seaport Village should indicate some notability. If I lived nearer to it, no doubt I could add more, hence my comment that someone from SoCal would be better placed to add to it - but the fact that I've even heard about the place (I live in New Zealand) should indicate that it's notable enough for Wikipedia. Grutness...wha?  01:52, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
