Woodmont (Washington, D.C.)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Failed PROD. Wholly unsourced and a Google search turns up no evidence whatsoever of the creation or existence of this neighborhood. Possible hoax; and badly fails WP:GNG in any case. JohnInDC (talk) 02:35, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

User:JohnInDC was right to be confused, article is about a neighborhood in Maryland, but the title read "D.C.". Needs sourcing, 2 articles I brought would make a start, so, probably keep and tag for sourcing.. E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:04, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * This comment because there is a real, nearby neighborhood and I assumed that the neighborhood had been "misplaced" (Woodmont, Bethesda, MD. Along Woodmont Ave.  It's a real place, just not a legally defined place. Over the District line in Maryland.  ; .  D.C.'s Maryland suburbs are defined by place/neighborhood names of this sort.  see for example Woodside (Silver Spring, Maryland).  I'll add this one to our category.

 * delete While there is a Woodmont neaighborhood in nearby, this article is very specifically about Woodmont, D.C. agree with Nom that as best I know or can discover, no such place exists.  I think that we can delete this, unless article creator  or someone else can source it.  I raise the possibility that it is not precisely a hoax, but, rather, a realtor attempting to add cachet to an area.  Either way, I can't source it.E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:25, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * In a search for sources, I found a Woodmont neighborhood in Arlington, Virginia, but that's not northwest DC. —C.Fred (talk) 18:22, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * ... and a Woodmont Place, SE, and Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Maryland. This article is about none of those but rather about a specific subset of Chevy Chase, DC residents who say they were unhappy about their association with that name, and therefore "seceded" to form a smaller, separate new neighborhood, "Woodmont".
