Yo, shout out to my peeps in Da Bronx. It's a great place to visit, but the subject of this article has no evidence of notability. Ecoleetage (talk) 01:04, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep - Not only is it a great place to visit, but the New York Times calls it "long one of the most prominent residential addresses in the Bronx". [http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50912F63E5F147A93C2A8178ED85F458685F9] Yo. --Oakshade (talk) 01:52, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment Yo, word on the street is that notability is not inherited. Having a famous person living in a building doesn't necessarily make the building prominent -- otherwise, every famous person's crib would be rockin' Wikipedia. Ecoleetage (talk) 16:20, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

:*Well, let's see. The New York Times calls it "prominent" (one of the most in the Bronx). One Wikipedia editor doesn't. Which shall we go by? --Oakshade (talk) 16:27, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

::Comment back Well, the New York Times also said there were WMD in Iraq in early 2003 -- don't believe everything you read (in the Times or on Wikipedia!). How about getting more independent references to back up that rather grand Grand Concourse claim? Ecoleetage (talk) 16:57, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

:::I love the fictional WP:NEWYORKTIMESISUNRELIABLE guideline. You're not the first to bring it up. --Oakshade (talk) 17:00, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

:Thanks! Uh, any other reliable sources to back up the notion of notability? Ecoleetage (talk) 17:10, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Yo. Some of your peeps in the Bronx live in a building that contributes to the Grand Concourse Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In other words, they've got some famous cribs there. I think the homies who run the National Register are straight ballin', if you know what I mean, so I'm going to say keep. Word. (It's painfully obvious I don't know a thing about Bronx slang.)--Elkman (Elkspeak) 20:18, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Yo, I am not snapping those National Register of Historic Places dudes. This nomination is being withdrawn and I'm going back to the hood. Peace out! Ecoleetage (talk) 21:20, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
