Not encyclopedic, non-notable, unverified, and fails to pass the test of "Who cares?" Delete Ardenn 19:00, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• I should also add that it reads more like a newspaper article than an encyclopedia article. Ardenn 19:03, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep With some references and expansion on the history of the area, this could become a good article. -

• Keep, encyclopedic and verifiable. Aplomado ^talk 20:01, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into Queen's University seems okay, but not worthy of its own article. joturner 20:17, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep. (1) Notability -- many Ghits [1] on the Student Ghetto. Also, it's a neighbourhood in Kingston. We have many precedents of neighbourhoods that are kept; as examples, here are the
  Atlanta neighbourhoods. (2) Verifiability: The Student Ghetto is referenced in major Canadian news media: [2], [3], [4], [5]. Queen's University always refers to it as the "Student Ghetto": [6], [7]. So does the City of Kingston in its own Committee meetings: [8]. There is even an online petition to rename the Ghetto [9] that was referenced by the same City of Kingston Committee: [10]. It's encyclopedic in my eyes. Oh, and in response to Who Cares: I care. -- Samir (the scope) धर्म 21:12, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply

• Keep PER Aplomado and Samir :) Dlohcierekim 21:19, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or merge to Queen's U. -- getcrunkjuice^contribs 22:43, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, a neighbourhood like any other. That's what the neighbourhood is called. If we have articles on, say,
  McGill Ghetto, not to mention other neighbourhoods such as Mount Royal, Forest Hill, Malvern, Westboro, etc., then what's the issue with this one? --Skeezix1000 16:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply
