Village of La Jolla

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This place doesn't seem to exist. There are no sources, and it's not listed as either a "locale" or "populated place" in GNIS. GNIS lists "La Jolla Village Square Shopping Center", but that's a shopping center, and seems to be covered by the article La Jolla Village, San Diego. If this is "the center of La Jolla", then it should be included on the La Jolla article. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:19, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete (Neutral for now, pending review of Arxiloxos' new information) Although locals, especially long-established La Jollans, do use the term "the Village" to refer to the downtown center area of La Jolla, I could not find any Reliable Source use of the term. Not even Realtors seem to use it much. I couldn't even find a good definition of exactly where "the Village" is; the photo in this article is of La Jolla in general, with (I think) La Jolla Cove in the foreground. I added one reference, but it is not from a Reliable Source. In a Google search, I find that even Reliable Sources sometimes confuse "the Village of La Jolla" with "La Jolla Village," which is a well defined separate area, several miles away and "up the hill" from the coastal "Village". There is already an entry about the "Village" in the La Jolla article, but I don't think a redirect would be helpful. --MelanieN (talk) 03:33, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * According the City of San Diego Planning Department: "'The Village' includes the area within the boundary of Prospect Street, Girard Avenue and Torrey Pines Road." or alternatively, it's "generally bounded by Prospect Street, Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla Boulevard and Pearl Street".   There are many other pages on the city website that use the phrase; I haven't looked at all of them. --Arxiloxos (talk) 04:01, 10 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep - Arxiloxos indicates this is an officially defined neighborhood. I suggest a name change to Village (La Jolla neighborhood) to lessen confusion with La Jolla Village, San Diego. Carrite (talk) 17:34, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. The downtown part of La Jolla is often known as the "village" and seems to be well-defined enough by the City to merit its own subarticle, as with Bird Rock and La Jolla Shores. It certainly could use expansion, but I think there are enough sources to at least get this beyond a stub. Uncertain about name change - seems to me that Carrite's proposed name could just as easily be confused with the "other" LJ Village. The developers of La Jolla Village created the confusion, but I think we're stuck with it. There will always be people looking for the "wrong" "Village." Dohn joe (talk) 18:46, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, subject has received sufficient mentions in multiple reliable sources, although it can be argued that none have been significant, in order to meet WP:GEOLAND. See:
