South West Side (Denver)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article is purely original research. Although several sources are cited, none of them substantiates the main theme of the article, which is that there is a definable area of Denver known as the South West Side. Article has been tagged as original research for several months. There was some discussion of Denver neighborhoods and areas in User talk:Orlady/Archive 10, but no source that I've seen supports the existence of this particular name. Other articles exist for individual neighborhoods, so deletion of this article would not deprive users of verifiable information. Orlady (talk) 13:32, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related articles for deletion for essentially the same reason:

There are a few other articles about areas of Denver that have similar issues, but that I am not nominating at this time because either: (1) the article cite at least one source that sort of supports the existence of an area by that name or (2) I found an area of that name on this map. People more familiar with Denver may, however, want to add some additional articles to this nom. --Orlady (talk) 13:45, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete all. My first reaction was that there might once have been communities by these names that once existed but were later absorbed by Denver or another suburb, but I couldn't find any evidence of this. I agree that North Denver, Colorado and West Denver, Colorado should both be deleted. I checked Geographic Names Information System at http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/ to try to locate any references to current or historical places by either name. Since GNIS also has listings for some schools and hospitals, presumably because these are often included in maps, I found West Denver Preparatory Charter School and Denver West Surgery Center, but nothing for West Denver or North Denver on their own.

 * Delete all I agree that that these articles are original research. I am very familiar with the Denver Metro area and understand what the original author intended, but there is no documentation of these areas and there are no borders, they are general referenced .Denver uses a neighborhood system to separate areas. The Denver neighborhoods are specific, well documented and have clear geographical borders.Dbkilo (talk) 18:42, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete all Denver micro-geography is better addressed in neighborhood articles that have definite borders. These articles are both superfluous and confusing. Vertigo700 (talk) 04:42, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
