Merge[edit]

Because this article has neither sources nor much apparent notability, it should be merged into the article of its larger area, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. I should also note that Pleasantville is a "Populated place without legal recognition" in WP:GEOLAND, meaning that it should have non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources in order to be notable enough for its own article.--ɱ (talk) 01:25, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is one of a comprehensive set of articles about the neighborhoods of St. John's contained in Category:Neighbourhoods in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, and I don't think that targeting just this one would result in an improvement in our coverage of the city. Indeed, because of its connection to Pepperrell Air Force Base, this neighborhood may be one of the more notable ones. Potential sources are easy enough to spot through the usual searches, see e.g. [1] [2] [3][4] [5] [6] [7] . --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:58, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's good and fine and all, but Wikipedia these days has pretty high standards. As stated on WP:GEOLAND, hamlets and communities do not warrant articles unless those articles have multiple independent reliable sources with strong coverage. Unless you add those above sources to the article, it technically should be merged with the parent article. But, even if you do add those sources, the article will still likely be such a stub that it could easily be moved to that parent article, and only fill half a paragraph.--ɱ (talk) 02:06, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Consider it done, and you're welcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.91.174.200 (talk) 14:21, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is just one suburb of St John's and the WWII history of the area doesn't really require an article. Rwood128 (talk) 22:13, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
