Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Washington Square Village
Article makes explicit claims of notability, especially related to Robert Moses's efforts to clear what he declared were slums and create sleek high-rise towers on superblocks, for which Washington Square Village was a prime example. While community protests failed to prevent construction of Washington Square Village, plans to run a new street, "South Fifth Avenue", through Washington Square Park failed, and were some of the precursors that led to the ascendancy of Jane Jacobs and her ''Death and Life'', and the demise of both the Lower Manhattan Expressway and its chief sponsor, Robert Moses. Several articles have been added from ''The New York Times'', which should meet  concerns, and go a long way to addressing any and all issues with this article
