West Baulkham Hills, New South Wales
Was listed for speedy deletion but is not a speedy candidate. No vote from me. Angr/undefined 11:15, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - substub with very limited info, but info all the same which could potentially be of use. Also has the potential to be expanded. CLW 12:02, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Precedent is that suburbs should be listed under the city they are in. Bauklham Hills Shire has its own entry. Delete. Pilatus 12:14, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep provided such a municipality exists. &mdash; J I P | Talk 16:18, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep All real settlements. CalJW 19:07, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, because this suburb does not appear to exist:
 * There is a state government body that defines suburbs called the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales. You can search their database, and I encourage you to do exactly that, because it will reveal there is no suburb called "West Baulkham Hills" or "Baulkham Hills West".
 * There is a federal government body called Geoscience Australia, which is "the national agency for geoscience research and geospatial information", and it has a database on place names of Australia, which you can search here, and I encourage you to do exactly that, because it will reveal there is no suburb called "West Baulkham Hills" or "Baulkham Hills West".
 * Street Directory: The definitive Sydney street directory is called the UBD, and it contains a comprehensive list of "Suburbs and Localities". This list does not contain any entry for "West Baulkham Hills" or "Baulkham Hills West".
 * When I asked the person who added these suburbs about this, they indicated there was "a bit of gunk" in the data they were using.
 * This suburb is not shown in the map Baulkham Hill Shire provides of it's own boundaries, nor is it listed in the list of shire suburbs names and their origins.
 * The current list of Sydney suburbs should be fairly complete and definitive (errors and omissions can happen of course, but I'd venture to say it's now > 95% accurate), and myself and others have put a lot of effort into making it as accurate as we can, so if something is not on that list then it's most probably not a suburb.
 * For all of the above factual reasons, I encourage you to delete this entry. -- All the best, Nickj (t) 00:19, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Nickj. The Gregory's Street Directory does not list this as a suburb or locality. Capitalistroadster 00:28, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Change vote to delete as per Nickj CLW 05:28, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Nickj, who did a fine job researching this. --DavidConrad 05:58, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I would also just note, to avoid potential confusion, that Geoscience Australia does list Baulkham Hills and Baulkham Hills Cross Roads, however WP already has a article, and the site says that Baulkham Hills Cross Roads is "unofficial". --DavidConrad 06:13, 12 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete, name doesn't seem to be used by anywhere other than the confused lists of the Department of Local Government. JPD 08:09, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, as per Nickj. Ambi 11:37, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Nickj. It is not listed by Australia Post, either. --Scott Davis Talk 13:04, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - this is not a suburb, rather an informal locality within a suburb.--Daveb 04:37, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
