Hollydale[edit]

It's not clear to me what this article is supposed about. In its original form, it was about a neighborhood in Philadelphia, but I can't find any information about that. Now, it's supposed to be about a neighborhood in Chicago, but I can't find any information about that, beyond the comments on the article's talk page (which don't make sense to anyone who knows Chicago geography - the Howard L stop is in a completely different part of the city from Woodlawn.) To muddy things further, the poem mentioned in the article might actually refer to a place in Ohio [1], but I can't find much information about that, either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Delete per nom. The only source used in this article is a poem, and I can't find any other evidence that this neighborhood exists in Chicago. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 13:56, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The only evidence I can find showing this is a place of some sort is a general g-search showing this is a section of the city of South Gate, California.--Oakshade (talk) 15:02, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I searched the USGS Geographic Names Information System and there are various hits (including the California location), but nothing for Chicago or Philly. Nothing notable. There is a small Hollydale Park (appears to literally be a neighborhood park) located in the Chicago metro area, in Homewood, Illinois. --Milowent (talk) 19:17, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
