Telegraph Berkeley

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I don't think this is notable as distinct from Telegraph Avenue. At the very least needs to be renamed to something like "Telegraph Avenue Business District" or something (though in 5 years living in Berkeley I never heard anyone refer to the district on the maps in the article as anything other than "South Side", with "Telegraph" specifically meaning Telegraph Avenue). I think the best option is to delete this article and, where there is distinct content it can be incorporated into the articles for Telegraph Avenue and Southside, Berkeley, California. 0x0077BE [talk/contrib] 20:00, 22 February 2014 (UTC)  0x0077BE  [talk/contrib] 20:00, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete I agree with nominator's reasoning. "Telegraph Berkeley" is not a commonly used name for this area. A Google search finds only the area's Business Improvement District and this article. There's nothing here that wouldn't be better sited in the Telegraph Avenue article. The references provided all refer to the history or people of Telegraph Avenue; there is literally nothing about this business improvement district. --MelanieN (talk) 19:44, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete As per the nominator. There's certainly no source for the name or even concept in the article itself, and the content is a hodge-podge of loose facts -- and a random map dredged up from God-knows-where (a "Metropolitan Transportation Commission report" is all it says) that doesn't even accurately cover the area claimed -- that belong in Telegraph Avenue and Southside, Berkeley, California. --Calton | Talk 09:23, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
