 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. Some of this could be merged into the main Green Bay article - not the name of individuals, but an explanation of what the loss of the shipyard and other transitions mean for local businesses and how they are responding, both within the boundaries of this district and elsewhere. The festival might also be worth mentioning, particularly if it was a success and is likely to be repeated. What the article doesn't say is that The Shipyard District, Inc. appears to be a business improvement area that taxes local businesses to pay for amenities like better benches and street lighting as well as the festival -- not a new idea, but I guess it's new in Green Bay.

 * delete There is no major coverage because it was founded in 2021. Some material may move to the Green Bay page, but by and large this is still an obscure zone. If it prospers and gets lots of mentions the next 2-3 years, let them rebuild the page. Ode+Joy (talk) 22:53, 6 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Move to Shipyard District and refocus - there has been plenty of coverage of the location (which is a populated place and so is notable per WP:GEOLAND anyway), its redevelopment, and various associated events. The organisation responsible for the redevelopment and management (a private organisation, not a statutory body) is not notable, in my view.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 03:01, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm going to ping, and  just to ask if they see sense in that alternative. I'm happy to do the work to refocus the article; we have a similar situation at Articles for deletion/Port of Poulsbo and the work there was not too difficult.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 05:09, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
 * If you want to manage the move, please go for it. I have no objection, and you have my support. Ode+Joy (talk) 12:28, 8 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Move to Shipyard District and recast as neighborhood/redevelopment area.Djflem (talk) 03:53, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
 * We are usually fairly restrictive about named districts within cities--the idea is to not include those that have no existence outside the real estate industry.  I'd have to see the refs.  You can always try.  DGG ( talk ) 06:01, 8 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment - can now safely be moved per WP:HEY following 's outstanding work.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 23:24, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
