I considered simply expanding this article with the content relating to the emergence of a new hamlet designation for the portion of this area but this article wasn't up to
WP:CCSG standards, and the hamlet is a sub-area or neighbourhood of the larger area. It is less than 15% of the size of the larger business park. I opted for the new article based on larger area to small neighbourhood precedents such as:
Ellerslie, Edmonton (area) and
Ellerslie, Edmonton;
Windermere, Edmonton (area) and
Windermere, Edmonton; and
West Jasper Place, Edmonton (area) and
West Jasper Place, Edmonton. I think these precedents should be given more weight than
Nisku as, in that situation, the one-block hamlet within pre-dates the industrial park, is surrounded by the industrial park, and will never grow (population 30). Rather it is more conceivable that it will contract and redevelop over time. Meanwhile, this hamlet is planned to grow to a size much larger than all villages in Alberta and larger than nearly half of all towns in the province, with future expansion plans to the northwest that will increase its population.

I just measured the size of the hamlet. It is ~200 ha in size. Gasoline Alley Business Park is 1,487 ha, including 627 ha in
Gasoline Alley West and 860 ha in
Gasoline Alley East. Therefore, the hamlet is 13.4% of the size of the larger area and is a neighbourhood within the larger area.

Hands down the primary topic for
Gasoline Alley, Alberta is the business park. I'd leave it as is and make
Gasoline Alley Business Park a redirect to it. The primary topic assignment can be revisited in future if and when the hamlet receives coverage that rivals the business park. Before then, hopefully Red Deer County will rename the hamlet to make the community more enticing and we can avoid this confusion altogether!
