Nam Fung Sun Chuen

An apartment block is not encyclopedic even if there is a picture.--metta, The Sunborn 20:47, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, as notable as several of the notable schools above. Kappa 20:55, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. — Insta ntnood 21:01, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Delete We're going to start listing apartments now?! Only a matter of time before every garage sale wants an article too... Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:16, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: These are high rise tower blocks with eight flats on each floor. The twelve blocks together house around 10 000 residents. A district council constituency normally has around 14 000 to 20 000 residents. — Insta ntnood 21:41, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Keep Notable place with community of interest including representation in Hong Kong politics. Capitalistroadster 00:04, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If population is the notability measure, lets delete the state of Wyoming. It's notable because someone took the time to write it. SchmuckyTheCat 02:10, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- "notable because someone took the time to write it"? That basically includes all articles that people write. I await your "keep" vote at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Postmodern Tractor with interest. Uncle G 10:56, 2005 May 18 (UTC)
  - Thats not writing, thats gibberish. SchmuckyTheCat 15:58, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a neighborhood, and if all the Chicago neighborhoods can have their own articles, so can this one. Kelly Martin 03:10, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
Delete Not notable enough, transwiki to wikiapartmentblocks or wikitrivia. Gmaxwell 05:08, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, oh come on... its an apartment block with nothing really notable about it. Megan1967 07:01, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, non-topic. R adiant _* 08:55, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
Comment: The article is now significantly expanded. — Insta ntnood 13:36, May 18, 2005 (UTC)

Keep per Kelly Martin. --Unfocused 14:40, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Even if expanded, I find it ridiculous to have an article about a collection of apartment buildings. Sarg 15:07, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: In your opinion in what way will an entry of tower blocks be notable? What about a collection with ~100 blocks and ~50 000 residents? — Instantnood 15:24, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
  - Comment. I'll put it this way: I live in a 4 million inhabitants city. Do you realize how many 50.000 resident complexes can be found here? Quite some. Do they need Wikipedia articles? Nope, I don't think so. I'd put an exception if the complex /district / whatever had some historical, political or educational relevance. I don't see that here. It is just 9.000 people living in a zone. Wow, big deal :) But that is just my opinion, of course Sarg 19:03, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thank you. Sounds logical, but this entry is not the only one of the same kind, and there was little objection towards these similar entries. Somehow I can't really tell where the line of notability should be drawn. :-) — Insta ntnood 19:48, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Some architecture is notable, but this article doesn't establish that. Quale 20:07, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all real districts. Isn't Nam Fung Sun Chuen the chinese pronunciation of General Gau's Chicken ? Klonimus 03:39, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, "notable" enough. --SPUI (talk) 10:53, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as encyclopedic as any other neighbourhood. - SimonP 03:53, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
