Article about a city neighborhood, which is not a well-established community with a properly sourced or notable history. Per GEOLAND, neighborhoods must meet GNG for a separate article. Article has five sources, all of which are primary (City of Calgary). Searching primarily turns up routine real-estate listings. Insufficient coverage in independent RS.

Keep based on longstanding consensus that all residential neighbourhoods in Calgary and Edmonton are notable enough for articles. This article was created in good faith based on the precedent that all others had articles. Although a newer neighbourhood, it is no less important than an older established neighbourhood that only has the benefit of more time passed to accrue a more fulsome history. It will accumulate its history over time. Surely some non-City of Calgary sources can be found. If this is deleted on these grounds, surely dozens and dozens of Calgary's other ~200 residential neighbourhoods are eligible to suffer the same fate as well. I'd much rather see a single deletion discussion of a large volume of these similar articles rather than picking them off one-by-one, such as is currently and suddenly the case with this,
Legacy, Calgary and
Nolan Hill despite years of Calgary residential neighbourhood article stability.

Keep per longstanding consensus that neighborhoods of Calgary are individually notable. If people disagree with that consensus, picking them off one by one is not the solution.

Actually, picking off non-notable articles one-by-one is standard practice in pruning "nests". --

Comment The consensus is documented in
WP:GEOLAND and it does not contain any special exemption for Calgary neighborhoods making them de facto notable.

Merge to
List of neighbourhoods in Calgary, there are no independent sources, and the content is not of the sort requiring an article. It may be possible that
List of neighbourhoods in Calgary could be developed into an article by consolidating these split-off (content-fork, if you will) articles, and thus improve the encyclopedic nature of the Wikipedia. It does indeed seem to fail
GEOLAND. --
