No wide coverage of this recently launced planning code. Doubtfull if it is important enough for a encyclopedia because it looks rather promotional. Night of the Big Wind talk  21:24, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - It's just a revision of local zoning bylaws. I see no significant coverage bout this outside of Buffalo.  In particular, if this were truly innovative, or notable in some fashion, there would be academic material written by those studying urban planning. -- Whpq (talk) 16:24, 25 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment: article has been moved to Buffalo Green Code. I have not retitled the AfD, but I have added the link into the nomination. —C.Fred (talk) 16:24, 28 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. Article fails to assert the significance or importance of the code outside of Buffalo. I agree with Whpq's analysis: were this a notable code, there would be coverage of it in urban planning journals or similar publications. —C.Fred (talk) 16:24, 28 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - This article as well as its subject matter are both still in their early stages of development.  A series of workshops are taking place at various universities throughout the city and region to gather citizen input as well as report the goals of the plan. Both local and national experts on regional planning and urban planning have been giving talks throughout the city. ~SAB  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.45.221.166 (talk) 13:54, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Reply - Has this been documented in reliable sources such as peer-reviewed urban planning journals or something similar? That you say that this subject is "still in there early stages of development" would seem to indicate that it is too soon for this to have received much coverage at all. -- Whpq (talk) 13:58, 29 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. I have edited the article for prose and accuracy, and have added external references and links to place the project within its national planning context. I am not the author of the article. For full disclosure, I am connected to the project through my employment at the City of Buffalo. Kahawa (talk) 16:21, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. This has no notability. Local bylaws are constantly being reviewed and revised all over the place. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 02:06, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, no substantial third party coverage.  Sandstein   06:17, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
