This article is about an "informal name" for three neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Each of the articles regarding these three neighborhoods ( Bel Air, Holmby Hills, and Beverly Hills) already discusses this "informal name" when talking about their respective neighborhoods. Per WP:NOT#DICTIONARY, Wikipedia is not a dictionary and we don't need an article that concerns only the nickname, particularly given that the nickname is already discussed in the articles about the places themselves.

But I think we should be clear on the book because what you are expressing is not accurate in my view. The book is not "about the Platinum Triangle" name as you suggest. The book, which is entitled "Unreal Estate: Money, Ambition, and the Lust For Land in Los Angeles", is about "sixteen great estates" constructed in the 20th century in four neighborhoods in Los Angeles (see the "Cast of Characters" introduction available at the "Look Inside" option on Amazon). One of those four neighborhoods (Beverly Park) isn't even part of the Platinum Triangle according to our article. And, based on what I can see through Google Books, the phrase appears a handful of times throughout the book with no meaningful discussion regarding the name itself. As far as I can tell there is, for example, zero discussion of where the name comes from, who coined it, when it came into use, how it has been used in popular culture, etc. If we're going to have a page exclusively about a nickname, then we need sources that tell us useful information about the nickname, not the area itself.
Otherwise, as I have suggested throughout this discussion, the better course is to address the nickname in the pages regarding the neighborhoods themselves as is already the case. If there is such a plethora of information about the nickname itself that can support a standalone article (as is the case with, say, the Big Apple), then let's have the page then. But right now, it's a two-sentence stub with one cite and it's been that way since 2007. I'm not saying we can't have stub articles that define something. But at some point, we must acknowledge that not every "informal name", as the article calls it, should have its own standalone page. DocFreeman24 ( talk) 02:53, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
