Northgate, Texas

Unnotable local residential district (despite article name which names it like it were a city). Article is almost entirely fluff and local promotional sounding stuff. Has not received significant coverage in reliable, third party sources beyond local news and college news media. It isn't a historical landmark. Has been tagged for notability concerns and lack of references since January with no change. Failed PROD. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 07:54, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Some information can be found via Google search: there is this: [1] and a few results on Google Books (although I don't know how much there is in each, and whether it's enough for notability). If there is not enough I suggest a merge, with a removal of unverifiable content. —Snigbrook 16:07, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's the City of College Station website (which is the city it is located in). Its notable for local folks as in "popular spot for students" and there are a few local books who mention it as part of the city's history, but it isn't notable outside of the Bryan-College Station area. Not sure there is much in the current version worth merging to the CS article though. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:12, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Link is dead, Google turns up practically nothing. StonerDude420 (talk) 18:29, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this appears to be a real neighborhood recognized by the city legally, if nothing else, in the form of a 145-acre special tax zone created in 2006, as I just added to the article. There are a lot of sources on Google News Archive and Google Books. The whole 'not notable outside of X' is a red herring, you can always define X such that nothing is notable on a given scale. But it doesn't matter because we include articles based on what sources are available, not on how subjectively important we think a topic is (I live 3,000 miles away, Northgate doesn't matter at all to me except in principle). --Rividian (talk) 20:13, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
