*'''Redirect all''', each neighborhood to its own borough. The neighborhoods are VERY notable, as the keep-sayers rightfully note, and all are RIDICULOUSLY premature [[WP:SPINOFF]]s of their respective boroughs. There's nothing in each but a definition. Their boroughs, which is the previous spatial unit in the Rotterdam spatial hierarchy, are listed only in the infoboxes, not in the sole phrase. The list mentioned in the directly above opinion is for outgoing links and is a very low priority for incoming links. [[User:Gidonb|gidonb]] ([[User talk:Gidonb|talk]]) 12:44, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
*:Can you explain why the neighborhoods are "very notable"? I'm asking with genuine interest in both the topic and the WP rules. The main article only mentions submunicipalities (possible synonym of "borough") as administrative divisions (see [[Rotterdam#Composition]]). Perhaps that info is out-of-date because the abolition of boroughs is discussed in [[Government_of_Rotterdam#Boroughs]], but still no mention of the neighborhoods or why they are significant.

:::1. Very notable: as explained above the bar for notability of geographical units is low: {{tq|verifiable information beyond simple statistics}}. In addition, the units also meet the high bar of significant coverage many times over. Of course, one could argue that for all recognized geographical units (with the exception of statistically designated areas and loosely defined areas) this is the case and that the bar was set low so we would not waste time with needless discussions about notability.
:::2. As is clear from my position, notability is a required but insufficient condition for keeping an article.
:::3. Rotterdam no longer has sub-municipalities. When it did, these covered only some of its area. The status was granted to areas that had been more recently annexed to Rotterdam to provide these a greater degree of autonomy than other regions.
