Article lacks citations, lacks notability, has poor spelling and grammar, and is very much orphaned. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 01:56, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

 * It's worth noting as well that while the article does cite a considerable number of references, almost all of them are primary sources and few to none of them pass our reliable sourcing rules. For instance, content about a Toronto Hydro infrastructure project and the area's Toronto Transit Commission service is sourced to the companies' own websites rather than to media coverage — while most of the other content is sourced to maps, city council or school board committee meeting minutes and other stuff that doesn't count as valid sourcing. Out of fifteen sources being cited, I see exactly three that aren't total junk — and two of those three are supporting content about an apartment fire in the neighbourhood, which isn't notable enough to even warrant being in the article in the first place, while the third is a book which is being cited to support a single statement that doesn't actually demonstrate the notability of the neighbourhood at all. Like all populated places, the neighbourhood would most likely qualify for an article that was actually good and properly referenced — but this one isn't either of those things. Delete.

 * Redirect to York, Ontario, the (former) municipality it is (was) part of. Redirects are cheap, and any relevant information can be salvaged there until/unless a proper article is recreated after this gets WP:TNT-d. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:42, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
