The result was delete. Redirect seems to be only thinly supported (both in the discussion and in the sources mentioned), so leaving that out of the AfD close. RL0919 ( talk) 04:26, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

This 14-year old article fails to meet WP:GNG and has essentially no factual basis. The article's creator likely inserted it into the encyclopedia as a hoax. There is a 6th Ward in New Brunswick. It's an obsolete political subdivision which still gets mentioned sometimes by realtors. But no sources suggest that the ward was ever known as "bloody", nor are there any sources that support the claims about the ward's geographic boundaries, the ethnicity of its inhabitants, or the social groups who lived there and their sports rivalries. The Five Points area of New York City was once called the Bloody 6th Ward, which must be where the article creator got the idea. The one thing in the article that is supported by any kind of source is the mangled sentence about the Irish Riviera. [1] suggests that Bucchleuch Park, a neighborhood within the 6th Ward, is also known as the Irish Riviera. The reference was added in later, by an editor trying to add whatever citations they could to an unreferenced article. Assuming this qualifies as a hoax, it would set a new record for the longest-running hoax on Wikipedia. CataracticPlanets ( talk) 02:48, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
