I propose that the argument for merging the Canaryville article back to the New City article should be reconsidered based on the following:
1. The recognized community areas defined in Chicago are, regardless of current consideration, still determined by the city, and are current so far as the maps are printed today (in 2009). The reasoning for the defining of areas was exactly for the purposes given to not merge: neighborhood names do change, but the community areas do not. Certainly not at the discretion of WP editors.
2. In case that argument is questioned, here's an example: Canaryville is smaller than Pilsen, yet Pilsen is included as part of the community area Lower West Side, Chicago, which it shares with Heart of Chicago (a Little Italy section).
3. If anything, Bridgeport is more closely connected to Canaryville than is New City, but it doesn't matter so far as the community areas are concerned, because they are both subject to geographic boundaries, not the whims or opinions of Irish Americans living in either.
I urge this matter to be reconsidered. Perhaps some other WikiProject Chicago types could weigh in on this? Ryecatcher773 ( talk) 02:35, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Oppose merge - The subject, a specific Chicago neighborhood, is notable enough to have its own article. Future editors, with an interest in local Chicago neighborhoods facts and history - in this case Canaryville, may find well sourced information that is relevant to the article. So, based on future potential, I think it meets a notability standard for having its own article. By the way - Pilsen should one. Pknkly ( talk) 16:31, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
