[edit] Propose merging Cedar Hill, Connecticut into East Rock (neighborhood)

I think this Cedar Hill neighborhood article should be merged into the East Rock neighborhood article. This issue has already been discussed to some extent at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:StAkAr_Karnak#Cedar_Hill_Area .

Geographically, the Cedar Hill area is very small (if you leave out the parts of East Rock Park that seem to be encompassed in the boundaries defined on the article page, although renamed "Indian Head Rock" for purposes of the article). It is clear that the Cedar Hill area (essentially, as I understand it, this is the section of the city of New Haven that lies between the Mill River and East Rock on the west, the I-91 connector on the south, and the rail yards on the east) has concerns very different from those of the larger East Rock neighborhood. However, these unique concerns do not change the fact that the Cedar Hill area is generally considered to be part of the East Rock neighborhood. The laudable existence of a neighborhood association is not sufficient reason to establish a separate encyclopedia entry.

Furthermore, information about the Cedar Hill area seems to be derived almost entirely from the page author's own unpublished research (see Wikipedia:No_original_research) and the neighborhood association website (which in turn links to the Wikipedia article for "Cedar Hill history"), making the article a questionable contribution.

I think that the information in this article (with suitable source attribution, of course) would "work" well as a component of the East Rock neighborhood article. --orlady 23:38, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Oops! I determined that this is supposed to be discussed at Talk:East Rock (neighborhood), not here. --orlady 23:48, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

"derived almost entirely from the page author's own unpublished research" I have post at the bottom and even scaned the historical records from were this information came from. It is a city record not anything that I did. It is not a book it is documents that the city of New Haven I did also post the info on our web site but the info is from the historical libary and because it was non-publish records of the city I mad sure to inclue the scan of the record so to varify the info is not mine. It is not inclued in the east rock part because this area has only been part of East rock for around 9 years... as stated above go to

Talk:East Rock (neighborhood) to rad the arguement but I need to post this here because it seems to be a very one side comment standing here alone and I have got a few calls. --216.175.168.210 18:17, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
