Delete – Although the article looks better now, I don't think the topic justifies a separate article. The sources given are only passing mentions in general local history articles; "Carolside" is basically just an old farm name that has lived on through its use for a couple of streets and a primary school that were built over it. Interesting micro-history, but it has ever been a settlement in its own right, just a housing development that expanded Clarkston – there was never an ancient village of this name, or anything. The Gazetteer for Scotland doesn't have an entry for it, which I think is an indication of its lack of significance. At the very best, a merge to Clarkston, East Renfrewshire may be appropriate for one or two snippets of info. 14:59, 2 April 2020 (UTC)Jellyman (talk)
Note that although OS maps don't show this Canmore's map does but that doesn't necessarily show its notable. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:10, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
