Tribeco

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

I think neighborhoods are where we have to draw the line with regards to notability, and this one simply doesn't seem to meet Wikipedia's notability standards. Googling for "tribeco" fort worth texas turned up nothing on Google Books, News, or News archives, save for a passing mention in a catalog from the US Patent Office.

 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Texas-related deletion discussions. — Frankie (talk) 17:14, 11 September 2012 (UTC)


 * That is because, for a long time, the neighborhood was actually called "Tribeca". That's because Copley used to be called Calhoun, after former Vice President John C. Calhoun. Google Tribeca Texas and you'll get plenty of results. I will note the history of the name in the article as soon as I get the chance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gary Smith, Defender of Freedom (talk • contribs) 19:50, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. I searched as recommended by Gary, and I found nothing of relevance (except for Plano, TX). A search for "Fort Worth" +Tribeca discovers only car advertisements. Unless Gary can actually produce these sources, I can't see a way of keeping. A reasonable search finds nothing. BusterD (talk) 22:37, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * "'Keep'". I will get around to providing the sources very soon, I promise. I've just got a lot of shit going on in my life right now. Gary Smith, Defender of Freedom

 * Delete. If such a neighborhood existed in any notable way, plenty of WP:RS would be available.  Fails WP:GNG. Qworty (talk) 23:50, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, no relevant reliable sources to show that this neighborhood is notable enough for an encyclopedia. -- Kinu  t/c 05:01, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Look, I've got plenty of sources, trust me. I just can't put them up right now because I'm busy taking care of some shit in my private life. Things should be back to normal by the new year, at which time I'll start devising a comprehensive strategy for putting up my sources. Gary Smith, Defender of Freedom
 * You only get one !vote, so I've slashed your second, but please feel free to make additional comments. CtP  (t • c) 21:15, 28 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep I'm one of Gary's friends. I've known him since first grade, and the guy's solid. He's really going through some shit right now, so cut him some slack. He just may surprise you with some of those sources he's got. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.11.130.34 (talk • contribs)
 * Well, he hasn't presented anything thus far. If you have some sources showing that Tribeco meets WP:GNG, you're welcome to pitch in, too. CtP  (t • c) 21:15, 28 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep I'm Gary's sister, Margaret. You are all being too hard on Gary, especially in light of all the shit he's got going on in his personal life right now. His information comes straight from our neighborhood broadsheet, The Tribeco Torchlight. You can get a copy by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to: Tribeco Torchlight, c/o Ms. Virginia Morris, 2894 Kremer Street, apartment 6A, Fort Worth, Texas, 76106. They've been trying to put the paper online, but they've been targeted by hackers for criticizing certain individuals (e.g. Jason Smith). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.11.130.34 (talk • contribs)
 * Comment. This is beginning to look like a hoax. A search for "Tribeco Torchlight" results in zero hits. BusterD (talk) 13:37, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Admin note I've struck both IPs who are claiming to be different people, primarily because that is meatpuppetry, and possibly sockpuppetry. I've also blocked that IP one week for the same. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 13:53, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. Google maps reveals no "Kremer Street", "Copley Avenue" or "Philip Street" in Fort Worth. BusterD (talk) 14:05, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
