message: Unfortunately, I had to remove most of the article as lacking sources. If you find good citations to use, put the material back, but I would recommend adding a little at a time so that other editors can check it. GeorgeLouis (talk) 19:30, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  No sources. 

message: Just curious where the slang name came from? It's just unusual.

BeenAroundAWhile asked me to reconsider the close, and the debate had very limited input over pretty long time indeed. I agree that the decision is borderline. As both names are in circulation, and "Elysian Valley" seems to be in formal use by media (see e.g. http://www.theeastsiderla.com/tag/elysian-valley/ ), we might as well follow suit – we don't title our article on Philadelphia as "Philly" either. If anyone feels strongly about the issue, feel free to ask me to revert and reopen the RM, this is not a formal closure but sort-of-IAR move to prevent a long process over a rather minor issue.

replies: text: WP:IAR="Ignore all rules". I agreed with your reasoning and already made the change, didn't I? Unless anyone seriously objects, we don't have to have any additional discussion. No such user (talk) 11:47, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
