Redirect target

I wasn't on the AfD for this article (I watchlist Daly City, California, and saw it when it closed), but I think a better target may be the specific neighborhood that is the subject of the book, Westlake, Daly City, California, rather than the article on the entire city. Any objections? I'm not going to unilaterally diverge from the outcome of a discussion, obviously.

Pinging the AFD participants and others in case they want their 2¢: @Beyond My Ken, Lockley, Archrogue, Jack Frost, and Dps04. TJRC (talk) 21:09, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TJRC, There is a sourced mention of the book at Daly City, California#Neighborhoods, whereas (at the time of writing) the book is not mentioned in the contents of the Westlake, Daly City, California article (it was only included in the references). If you would expand the Westlake article, such that it contains a sourced mention of the book that is more in-depth that what we currently have at Daly City, California#Neighborhoods, I would support such a retarget. Thanks! -- Dps04 (talk) 21:16, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, I added that sourced mention when I made the redirect after the AfD closed. I would edit Westlake, Daly City, California in the same way if we decide to retarget. TJRC (talk) 21:40, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TJRC of course I'll defer to your judgment since you know the territory but thank you for asking -- --Lockley (talk) 21:33, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Retargeting (with explansion) sounds fine to me. Mention of the book in the other article can remain, of course, with a link to the new redirect. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:08, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This looks like it worked out well. I support writing and expanding it at the Westlake article. And if this neighborhood really starts to have its own section with good sources, it can be spun out into its own thing once it's long enough. Archrogue (talk) 17:49, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
