Westwood North Village, Los Angeles

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No claim in article that it is Notable in any way. Not listed as a neighborhood in Mapping L.A. or The Thomas Guide. This is simply a part of Westwood Village, Los Angeles. GeorgeLouis (talk) 04:14, 18 July 2013 (UTC)


 * It is an official neighborhood
 * There is an official L.A. City designation of an area under this name on Gayley east-bound just past Veteran, roughly in the area the article mentions (I have not confirmed exact borders), demonstrating that it is an official L.A. City neighborhood. While Mapping LA or the Thomas Guide are useful, they should probably not be used as the sole arbitrer of what is or what isn't a neighborhood in L.A. The City has made its own neighborhood charts and listings, though sometimes outside of asking the right people at City Hall its hard to pin-point where they are (or whether they exist). This neighborhood is recognized by the City, although I do not have more information on in what shape or form. Another good source to look is LA Almanac on the web. I have noticed an increased use of Mapping LA as a source for information about neighborhoods in the City but we should recognize it is only one source and it could omit or be erroneous about several facts.


 * Needs improvement
 * Otherwise, the article seems to fail to meet Wikipedia standards toward the bottom of the page where it starts talking in first-person about what they have heard or know about the area without use of sources and lacking the proper tone and style. This should be improved.


 * It should be kept as a stub or merged as a sub-category in the larger Westwood neighborhood article, but not deleted. --Daniel E Romero (talk) 06:39, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Response. The pertinent policy says, "Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. This means that we only publish the opinions of reliable authors . . . " GeorgeLouis (talk) 07:23, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete, or Redirect to Westwood, Los Angeles; not separately notable. --MelanieN (talk) 15:56, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete or redirect to Westwood Village, Los Angeles - It's simply not an officially or unofficially separate neighborhood. Yes, Westwood Village has a north section of it, but it's not a distinct neighborhood. --Oakshade (talk) 00:26, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: It's not clear to me if this is part of Westwood Village, or if it and Westwood Village are both subneighborhoods of Westwood. The article itself seems to suggest the latter. Anybody able to clear this up so we can choose the appropriate redirect target? --MelanieN (talk) 19:36, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree. Not sure if this is referring to Westwood Village.  I'm changing this to delete unless I can be shown otherwise.--Oakshade (talk) 22:59, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
