Cities are notable, no one disputes that Atlanta is notable. This difficult to define "neighborhood" in Atlanta on the other hand... Not so notable. Nor is it all that verifiable through reliable third party publications. Alas, we should delete. JBsupreme (talk) 09:17, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to
  List of Atlanta neighborhoods. I would add that just because there's a template here, it does not mean an official endorsement of anything. It simply means that an editor, like you or I, created a template. Mandsford (talk) 12:56, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply

  • Yes, that is true. I have no opinion (at this time) regarding the other "neighborhoods" within that template. JBsupreme (talk) 16:37, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I don't exactly understand this AfD, but then again what do I
  Buckhead, but I suppose Wikipedia like society will have its inequalities!). Finally, if my comment here saves this article from deletion I plan to call T.I. and demand that he buy me whatever I like. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 05:33, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply

• Further comment. Also just in terms of sources, see [1] [2] [3] [4] (first three from Atlanta-Journal Constitution, last from Washington Post). None are freely available online (you get a preview of what they are about though) but I'm sure we could find these and/or others like them in the Nexis or Pro-Quest Newspapers databases. In other words I do think we can source this article. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 05:46, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Unverifiable? Just look at a map. A neighborhood in a major city that even has a subway stop with the designation of the neighborhood is inherently notable. There's even a book called Bankhead to Buckhead: Atlanta, After the Ashes. While I don't have access to the text, I don't think it's a stretch to assume that there is non-trivial coverage of Bankhead in it. Other books cover Bankhead too.
