[edit] Golden Corridor
Seems to be too non-specific a slang/nickname for too many areas to be worth recording in an encyclopedia. "Golden Corridor" gets 7k hits, but "Golden Corridor" dallas only gets a fraction of those--there are apparently other areas sometimes called 'golden corridor' in Cabo, Mexico; India; Illinois, USA; Atlanta, USA; Cambridge, UK; gold country in CA/NV, USA; and somewhere in China; and that's just among the first 21 hits for "golden corridor". Seems more like an over-used, hyperbolic adjective than a noun. Niteowlneils 23:48, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, expand. Sorry, but to me "slang/nickname for too many areas" is a reason to keep this as a general article on the use of this term to describe certain chunks of real estate based on certain characteristics. -- BD2412 talk 00:26, 2005 Jun 8 (UTC)
- Keep and expand into disambig page for all the regions widely known as the Golden Corridor. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 05:22, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, no Golden Corridor is notable. RickK 07:26, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as notability not established; this doesn't seem to be a very common usage. For example, "Golden Corridor" +Dallas gets me 1300 googles; in contrast, "Gold Coast" +Chicago (a comparable neighborhood in a comparable city) gets me 783,000. Meelar (talk) 14:09, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete: It isn't a thing, but rather a coincidence of words. Next will be "golden ghetto." It's just a slang term that has no particular place to point. As such, its claims can only be either unverifiable or lexical, and both violate policy. Geogre 16:56, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per Meelar and Geogre. No references provided in article. There are a few notable names of this sort ("Magnificent Mile"), but this is not one of them. Quale 15:05, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
