Keep or redirect on the basis that we generally take a highly inclusionist approach to populated areas of any type and size, per
WP:GEOLAND, and this appears to be a populated and recognised area, although I'm a little unclear on whether it is legally recognised, or what would be required to demonstrate that. Like
Coolabahapple I'd argue for a redirect/merge to the larger settlement if there was a consensus against keeping the standalone article.

Keep. Searching on "Blackhead Road" in a few seconds I find
Williamson, T. Morgan (1971) Blackhead Road: a community study in urban renewal. Masters thesis, Memorial University of Newfoundland., which looks like substantial reliable source coverage of the community, the result of major study by Williamson. Its bibliography includes numerous materials about community development and urban renewal, some which may be largely about Blackhead. Some are general national level works, some are more local / primary sources. A few are (sorry for some garbling in copy-pasting, partly but not wholly fixed by me):
Iverson, Noel and l-1atthews, D. Ralph 1968 Communities in Decline: An Examination of Household Resettlement in Newfoundland. St. John's, Nfld.: Institute o£ Social and Economic Research Memorial University of Newfoundland.
Works by Project Planning Associates, Ltd. (
1961 City of St. John's Newfoundland Urban Renewal Stu • Prepared for the Municipa Counoil. oronto.
1965 An Interim Report on Urban Renewal at Blackhead.
1966 "Residential Standards and Rehabilitation". In Blackhead: St. John's Urban Renewal Scheme Part I, Toronto (July).
1966 "Housing at Blackhead" • In Blackhead: St. John's Urban Renewal Scheme Part III, Toronto (October) • . ~
1967 Blackhead: St. John's Urban Renewal Scheme Final
Various dates of St. John's Daily News and St. John's Evening Telegram coverage.
"Blackhead Road" is mentioned in
this about National Film Board of Canada, where the mention i think means it was one of the communities that were subject of a documentary.
I'll stop here. It looks to me that this was formerly a separate community, and has been the subject of plenty of study, and the topic meets GEOLAND and GNG. --

For AFD purposes, i think Reywas92's view should be interpreted as "Keep", though maybe with a recommendation to consider moving/renaming, but leave that up to editors at the article's talk page, or to a
wp:RM more fully evaluating weight of coverage. BTW, "Move" is not an outcome recognized in
wp:AFDSTATS. I happen to write mostly about old places listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, and I usually do like to use the historic name of place during time of its significance. But if the current name is different and is common enough in usage, I often/usually have to go along with "modernists" for the article title, as long as both appear in bold in the first sentence of lede. Here, I am not sure "Blackhead" is better than "Shea Heights" as article title or not; I would tend to defer to knowledgeable locals. :( --

Keep As of this moment, I have completely rewritten the article from the ground up per
WP:HEY. It's a former standalone community called Blackhead Road. Easily passes
WP:GEOLAND #1 and I will let the sources in the new article speak for themselves.
