Keep Both notable and sourced, with whole books and academic articles devoted to it.--Geewhiz (talk) 06:45, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep 8500 inhabitants is a strong claim to importance and notability. In any case we normally keep geographic location articles like suburb and village articles. Please add hebrew references, like web sites or newspapers.  Please also add the Hebrew name so we can cross match it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:57, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Having started the discussion, I did some more research, did some cleanup to try to put it in intelligible English, and found a couple of refs for inline use. It's still not much of an article, but it's something. I think it probably needs a name change to something like Shapira (Tel Aviv neighbourhood). Beastiepaws (talk) 22:22, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Referenced article about a legit populated neighbourhood. -- WikHead (talk) 22:30, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per all the above. The Hebrew Wikipedia article is a great place to start for content to expand this article.  --Oakshade (talk) 04:19, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep – Per Wikipedia's Five pillars, the encyclopedia also functions as a gazetteer, per WP:MAPOUTCOMES and Notability (geography). Northamerica1000(talk) 05:56, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. Neighborhoods in cities are customarily named in the form Shapira, Tel Aviv. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 01:48, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
