Spicertown

It is a grey area with neighbourhoods, but I don't think this meets WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG. Boleyn (talk) 07:23, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep, meets WP:NGEO, a historic district of Akron, Ohio (not sure why the nominator hasn't at least suggested a "merge/redirect" to that article) that is recognised by the city as a distinct neighborhood (see Spicertown Urban Renewal Area Eligibility Report and Urban Renewal Plan), a quick gsearch brings up numerous instances of Spicertown being a distinct settlement ie. Historical Gazetteer of the United States - "1811 Paul Williams builds cabin in what is now downtown Akron; settlement of Spicertown develops", Old Akron's One-Room School Houses - "Perhaps space was rented to provide temporary extra capacity for the Spicertown district .... The map on the opposite page shows the streets, prominent buildings, and the city limits as they were in 1870, after Spicertown was added,..", Lost Akron - "For the location, Akron residents chose a hilltop near Spicertown, the old settlement along present-day East Exchange Street.", Ohio: The Ohio Guide - "In 1811, Major Miner Spicer came from the East and began a farm in the section in which the University of Akron now Stands. Around his cabin soon grew a settlement generally known as Spicertown". Coolabahapple (talk) 04:41, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy redirect I have merged the page to Neighborhoods in Akron, Ohio. A quite small part of the official neighborhood of University Park and history can be included there. No need for separate article, smaller neighborhoods in smaller cities are generally best covered together as in this article. Reywas92Talk 04:49, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect. Not notable on it's own, but a reasonable search term. Niteshift36 (talk) 12:21, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
