message: Is there a reason Brookhaven isn't on the list?
Also, this may be a good place to start a list from: http://www.atlantaga.gov/residents/neighborhoodlink.aspx Akubhai 18:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why isn't brookhaven included? 

message: The list of neighborhoods should be complete and according to the official list of neighborhoods of the City of Atlanta. (http://www.atlantaga.gov/government/planning/neighborhoodlist.aspx). In major cities like New York and LA the list does not contain any neighborhoods which are missing links, that is because articles have been written about all the neighborhoods. If you compare, to, say, Baltimore, where like in Atlanta, not all the articles have been written yet, you can see that the tempalte is a complete list of neighborhoods including those that don't yet have articles. There is no reason that neighborhoods should be discounted, treated as if they don't exist, just because no one has written about them yet. And those are the poorest most marginalized neighborhoods. It can be a good reason for people to go out and write those articles, as I have done for Pittsburgh and Just Us.
Another point, a neighborhood is offically defined in Atlanta. We can list the districs within downtown, but they need to be labeled as such. Same for Little Five Points.

replies: text: This is a signifigant change, and I propose changing it to the original so other people can weigh in. Wikipedia is for information. It should be easy for people to find information. Also, the template edits do not completely match the official neighborhood page of Atlanta.--Mmann1988 (talk) 17:59, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

text: Also, please do not make edits "political" by including some and excluding others.--Mmann1988 (talk) 17:59, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

text: Kirkwood and Edgewood are bot significant neighborhoods that have been left out. Also, neighborhood templates are not meant to include every single neighborhood - only the notable ones. There are WAY too many neighborhoods on your version. --Mmann1988 (talk) 22:11, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

text: I changed it back to the original, so the issue can be debated more throughly by other editors. Please do not revert to your version - others must be allowed to have input before you force your version as the correct one.--Mmann1988 (talk) 22:11, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should this list be complete and official 

message: TheRealFennShysa: In previous discussions we've decided to leave Buckhead in this list even though it's not an officially recognized neighborhood, but rather a community which contains multiple official neighborhoods. Cascade is the same thing, a region of the city *very* much in common use by reliable sources (e.g. AOL Patch cascade.patch.com which contains multiple neighborhoods. You cannot remove Cascade without also removing Buckhead into a "Community" category and also removing the Districts within Downtown, and also the Little Five Points districts.

thread_title: Cascade and Buckhead

message: The Bluff should be included in this list. The entire Deletion discussion on the article concluded that The Bluff is documented as a neighborhood by plentiful reliable sources such as the AJC, Atlanta Magazine, and Christian Science Monitor. Whether or not you can buy crack there is irrelevant. It is a neighborhood. If it is not, we need to establish criteria definining what a neighborhood is. In my opinion, you could say (a) we are only going to include the neighborhoods officially recognized by the City or (b) we take the neighborhoods that reliable sources call neighborhoods. If (a) we eliminate the Bluff but we also have to eliminate all the other non-official hoods, so, all those districts of Downtown and Midtown (some, like Colony Square and Technology Square, are just complexes of buildings!) and Little Five Points. If (b) then we have to include The Bluff just as we include e.g. Little Five Points. It is *so* well documented. Wikipedia is not just a place to document happy things and the bright shiny face of Atlanta. It is a place to document reality, and as part of that we also have to document dark unhappy places - when they are SO well sourced! Keizers (talk) 15:25, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
