Talk:Nottingham Forest, Houston

message: This article refers to Nottinham Forest VIII as "Nottingham Forest."  This is not the same neighborhood.  Nottingham Forest is between Kirkwood and Dairy Ashford, South of Memorial drive, and is zoned to Meadow Wood elementary.  For people looking for information on Nottingham Forest, this article is misleading.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Katjs (talk • contribs) 16:49, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I agree that this is misleading. The article is actually about the VIII subsection of Nottingham Forest. Postoak (talk) 23:29, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've finally fixed this (a year later). The article now covers the subdivision of Nottingham Forest, which is two neighborhoods (Nottingham Forest and Nottingham Forest VIII) combined. — TheDarthEgg 22:59, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Inconsistency with article title

message: I question the notability of a subsection of a surburban subdivision neighborhood. I recommend this article be AfD'dMmyers1976 (talk) 14:55, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I see that the notability request and nomination for deletion was done concurrently. I would have given the editors some time to establish notability before requesting deletion, but I do agree that the current version isn't notable. Postoak (talk) 23:36, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Living across the street from this neighborhood, I didn't see how it could possibly be notable (not like my neighborhood is either), so I pushed through on AfD right after questioning notability. I'm new to AfDing (this is my second one), I'll remember to allow some time between notability request and AfDing next time. Thanks for the constructive feedback.Mmyers1976 (talk) 17:03, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ech... I was afraid this would occur sooner or later. With this article being my first firmly established work on Wikipedia, it'll be hard to deal with deleting the page. I agree that Nottingham Forest VIII is hardly notable, but I don't like the idea of two years' worth of work going to waste. But, still, it is Wikipedia policy, and I'm barley editing anymore since my original account malfunctioned, so I guess the deletion will commence. I can't believe it took until 2009 for NF8's page to be submitted to AFD. It was good while it lasted. — JuWiki (Talk <> Resources) 00:23, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: P.S.: the AFD nomination page includes a comment regarding my inclusion of NF8's position on the city's wealthiest neighborhood list. I never meant for its listing to be a means for notability. — JuWiki (Talk <> Resources) 00:25, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

text: I hope you won't be discouraged to continue contributing here, by this, it's just part of the process that is Wikipedia. Just a couple months ago I found a stub article on my old junior high school, and I spent a lot of time cleaning it up and adding information on the history of the school, including its previous location, only to have an editor come in and delete the page because junior highs are generally non-notable. Sucked a little to have my work evaporate like that, but it opened my eyes up to the nonnotability of elementary and junior high schools. Your work also need not go to waste. I think there is a very good chance that a "Memorial Area, Houston" article would pass muster as notable, and your information on Nottingham Forest, Section VIII would be a good addition to that. Maybe you are just the person to originate an article on the Memorial Area.Mmyers1976 (talk) 15:09, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Please see Memorial, Houston. Postoak (talk) 19:19, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, there is one already. Thanks. Mmyers1976 (talk) 19:24, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Speaking of Memorial, would it be a good idea to merge this article with the main Memorial page? Or is the Memorial area too broad to encompass a detailed section on Nottingham Forest without mentioning the dozens of other neighborhoods in its radius? — JuWiki (Talk <> Resources) 21:01, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe others will have a different perspective, but merging this into the Memorial page sounds like a good idea to me.Mmyers1976 (talk) 21:12, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely, I think this is a great idea. We may need to expand coverage of the other Memorial neighborhoods in the Memorial article and trim Nottingham Forest a little. Postoak (talk) 23:19, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But what about the other neighborhoods in the Memorial area? — JuWiki (Talk <> Resources) 01:15, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Notability

message: Subsection made it sound like these teams were officially affiliated with the neighborhood, rather than being part of the high school, which serves a wide area, or youth leagues serving a wide area. Also, youth leagues like a Little League team have nothing to do with Education, and so shouldn't be part of a subsection of a section on education. Finally, having a sports subsection in the education section that just mentions the three marque boys' sports teams at the exclusion of all the girls's teams and all the other boys' teams puts undue weight on those marque teams; in fact, just focusing on these sports teams in the education section puts undue weight on sports at Stratford, to the exclusion of all the other nonathletic extracurricular activities at which students excel. Obviously one cannot list all extracurricular activities, but there is already a solution - Stratford High School already has its own Wikipedia article, is already named in the article, and anyone wanting to find more information about its sports and other extracurriculars can look there.
