area, I have never heard of the neighborhoods in this article collectively referred to as "northwest Los
Angeles". The only citation in the article is on the topic of gentrification in a specific area and makes no mention of the concept of "northwest Los Angeles". I've seen previous versions of LA-district lists on this site and understand why, from an academic perspective, somebody would seek to simplify the classification of LA's patchwork grid, but Knowledge (XXG) is not the place to make declarative assertions on what is and isn't an official designation for an area.
238:. I can understand the nominator's concern: if "Northwest Los Angeles" has any common meaning today it's probably the northwest San Fernando Valley, not the near-downtown neighborhoods listed in this article. I don't think, however, that this AfD is the way to handle the question. This term is used as part of a large-scale organization of L.A. neighborhoods and is used in a number of templates. Just deleting this article would add to the confusion. A rename might be discussed, but I note that historically the term "Northwest Los Angeles"

fit to be in other articles (they're not
Downtown, they're too far east to be Hollywood, they're too far north and east to be lumped with the Westside, and they're on the wrong side of the river for the Eastside). It's possible that list-index criteria apply here, BTW, which would allay V concerns. As for 96's comment that the use of "Northwest Los Angeles" is archaic, people haven't come up with a better collective name for the area since then, so might as well use it.

Essentially per
Arxiloxos. This is an issue for a renaming request, not an AfD. The neighborhoods were grouped together in a template long before the article was created. If this article is deleted, the neighborhoods in that template can't be distributed into other articles, because they are a poor

that this is a term in actual use; the article's sole reference does not use the term. And I could find no usage at Google News, except that apparently there was a "Northwest Los
Angeles Improvement Association" back in the 1890s. A search of the City of Los Angeles website found nothing. As for the

I understand the idea of "Northwest Los
Angeles" geographically, but it's not a phrase or concept that has any bearing in real world usage. Doing a google search for "northwest los angeles" -wiki only gives results relating to a city in Texas. Additionaly, as a life-long resident of the Los Angeles

Interesting citations, but like you said they're archaic, and there's no definition for which area they're talking about specifically. Also, nobody refers to the San
Fernando Valley as "north" or "northwest" or anything like that, it's just "the valley". PS Thank you very much Ansh666.

Because there really isn't any reason to delete right now. Sources for the name "Northwest Los
Angeles" have been found, and even if they hadn't, you could just rename it to something else. I'm surprised at the apparently low value given to consistency among regions
246:
347:"large-scale organization of L.A. neighborhoods," I see no reason why it can't remain in place, while recognizing that the grouping "Northwest Los Angeles" is something invented for Knowledge (XXG)'s convenience, rather than a real entity deserving of an article. --

Every other template has a corresponding article. What happens if this is deleted is we have a number of neighborhoods not grouped by region of the city. Since
