It appears to be non notable due to lack of references in the article. I checked Google and I couldn’t find any outside references. This article hasn’t cited references in almost 11 years. Zoe1013 (talk) 04:04, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, this appears to be a well known/used term ie. Racial Transition in the Inner Suburb: Studies of the St. Louis Area, The places we keep: the heritage studies of Victoria and outcomes for urban planners (numerous occurrences), Whitechapel 1600-1800: A Social History of an Early Modern London Inner Suburb, People and property in Redfern: post war changes in the population and the properties in an inner suburb of Sydney, Inner Suburbs at Stake: Investing in Social Infrastructure in Scarborough, Lovely Spaces in Unknown Places: Creative City Building in Toronto’s Inner Suburbs (numerous times), and so on, and so on.

Merge into Suburb - I don’t see why this needs its own article. Foxnpichu (talk) 15:22, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a wellknown subject.★Trekker (talk) 17:50, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Holy... the suburb article is bad. Inner suburb is however very short and unreferenced. Having considered the subjects, it would seem like inner suburb could have potential for its own article, but could be merged in its present state, allowing for a split once the suburb topic is totally reworked.

@Geschichte - What’s wrong with it? Foxnpichu (talk) 23:12, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Too few references, some paragraphs are not sourced at all. Very anglocentric scope, even half of the "Worldwide" section is about North America. Paragraph titles seem off; "Etymology", "History", "Worldwide" (?), "Traffic flows", the last paragraph has several tags, too long "see also" list which should be integrated into sections or subsections with Template:Main links...

@Geschichte - Now that you’ve mentioned it... man you’re right. The page isn’t very well written. I think we should see the outcome of this AfD, then maybe we could work on improving the page. Foxnpichu (talk) 10:32, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've added sources to the article. Zoozaz1 talk 18:21, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
