Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Crocker Highlands, Oakland, California
Google news archive search shows 3200 results for "Crocker Highland," the vast majority about the article's subject. It is not required to actually have the references purchased through the paywall and used to improve the article ffor it to be kept. We only have to know that the subject is  verifiable if it is a geographic feature, town,  hamlet,or neighborhood, per the outcome of numerous prior AFDs. If multiple reliable and independent sources have substantial coverage of the neighborhood, that is even more rationale for keeping the article, by clearly satisfying . The caution in "neighborhood" articles would be if the term is not widely used in the media, guidebooks, etc, and is just something coined in the 'hood one day which hasn't yet caught on. That seems not to be the case here. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/e/a/1999/08/01/REAL12010.dtl(1999) has two paragraphs about homes in Crocker Highlands. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/e/a/2000/02/06/REAL3547.dtl (2000) has substantial discussion of real estate in Crocker Highlands. Oakland Tribune, (May 13, 1919) from the Google News search says "If you are planning to some day live in Crocker Highlands by all means see us AT ONCE and get first choice, because the very lot you want might be the first ..." and shows the neighborhood has been in the news for many decades. Please do at least the minimal research of a Google News archive search before nominating an article as "not notable". The absence of references does not mean unreferenceable or non-notable. This whole flock of nominations of neighborhoods appears ill-founded and premature
