Page about same supposed place was previously deleted as blatant hoax at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bel Air, North Dakota but seems to have resurfaced here. Get rid of it again. Smartyllama ( talk) 17:18, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
- Comment This isn't the same place as the hoax article; that article was about a supposed city of 5,000 in Adams County, while this article is about a neighborhood of Minot (in Ward County) that has sources verifying its existence. The notability of the neighborhood is pretty borderline, but it is a real place. TheCatalyst31 Reaction• Creation 12:34, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - As mentioned in a previous debate, this is a real inhabited place, not a hoax creation from thin air, thus the case for deletion being made falls flat. We have the lowest of possible bars to keeping articles on populated places; if a case is to be made that this neighborhood is not notable due to small size and artificial contrivance, that case needs to be actually made and opinions can be rendered at that time. As to the deletion rationale here, I believe that argument is not well taken. Carrite ( talk) 17:11, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Consider this withdrawn per above comments, since it appears this place is legit. Can an admin close this, please? Smartyllama ( talk) 22:30, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
