No notability asserted, this page is basically a description of a small piece of land with no indication why it matters.

  • Keep, I was able to find and add a couple of extra sources quite easily to the article. Further sources that look interesting but that I do not have immediate access to are "Rural village to urban surge" by Frederick Bradshaw which mentions it a few times, [http://books.google.com.au/books?id=mww6AQAAIAAJ&q=%22Elgar's+Special+Survey%22&dq=%22Elgar's+Special+Survey%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=nLm9UcelOcnQkQXkm4HQBA&ved=0CDMQ6AEwADgK These volumes of the Victorian Historical Magazine], and quite a few mentions that come up in Trove newspapers. I contend that this volume of sustained coverage over more than a century meets the WP:GNG. Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:14, 16 June 2013 (UTC).
  • Keep: Coverage from a long time ago till now. Historical and notable. SL93 (talk) 23:18, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Keep - Passes GNG. Yet another Straight to AfD without a PROD. One of several disruptive AfDs by the same nominator. Dolovis (talk) 02:37, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Speedy close, speedy keep: The nominator was blocked as of 06:52, 21 June 2013 for [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:UnrepentantTaco&oldid=560860104 sock puppetry] per a discussion "Disruptive creation of groundless AFDs, probable sockpuppetry". Also, removed nominator's vote inside of nomination. Crtew (talk) 16:05, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

::WP:SK 2a The closer should keep in mind the large number of nominations made on a large, diverse set of articles that the nominator made on the same day.Crtew (talk) 05:33, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

  • Speedy close, speedy keep. Discussed in numerous books on the history of Melbourne, since it had a lasting effect on the geography of the city. -- 203.171.197.13 (talk) 09:49, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
