Non-notable place: it's just a road/housing estate (see map) Cordless Larry (talk) 20:34, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. All villages are notable, even if they aren't very interesting. --Eastmain (talk) 01:38, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. What Eastmain says. --Helenalex (talk) 08:02, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm confused. The point is that this place isn't a village. It's a road with a development of new houses on the outskirts of Derry. If you look at the map you'll see that there are other villages labelled nearby, but that Westlake is just the name of a road. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:23, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Just a tract of houses built 1999-2001. Like a subdivision in the US. Does not appear to be a census unit, village or hamlet, so no inherent notability which we accord to those geographic entities. Thus it would need substantial coverage in reliable and independent sources. There are dozens of such subdivisions or builders tracts in most medium sized towns in the U.S, and they also have no inherent notability. Likewise it is just the name of the street running through the housing development. Redirect to Derry. Edison (talk) 15:51, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, the place clearly exists. Stifle (talk) 18:33, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  Once again, I'm not claiming that it doesn't exist; rather that it's not notable. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:46, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  I would say that all villages are notable. Stifle (talk) 18:50, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  That's the point though - it's not a village. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:51, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  Delete. You're right, it's actually a street. Stifle (talk) 19:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. It appears to be simply a local name for a street and a group of houses, with no other evidence of notability provided. I tried to think of a graceful way to merge the information into Derry or Strathfoyle, but was unsuccessful. There just isn't much significant information to merge. --AnnaFrance (talk) 14:29, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete housing developments are not notable.-- danntm ^T _C 17:19, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - There is no evidence that this place is a village. It actually appears to be just a street. Anyways, there are no references, or anything to show "Westlake, County Londonderry" exists as village or is notable.--Celtus (talk) 05:59, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete It reads like an advertisement for the new houses the develp=oper plans to build in 2008-2009.Elan26 (talk) 21:49, 16 May 2008 (UTC)Elan26[reply]
• Delete - just a housing estate and smaller than the one I live on which is also decidedly nn (except for me living there of course :-)). Not a settlement. TerriersFan (talk) 17:57, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
