CDP vs. historic district

In this edit in January 2010, a separate stub article on Simsbury Center Historic District was redirected to the CDP article. I just restarted the separate article. The topics are very different, including that the CDP is many square miles in size vs. the HD is 75 acres. Detailed discussion of individual bldgs is appropriate in an HD article while not in a CDP article, etc., etc. The split vs. merger question for many other CT HDs vs. town/village/hamlet/CDP/neighborhood articles was hashed out in many hundred thousands of bytes of discussion at a big mediated discussion and elsewhere, though i don't happen to find discussion of this one in particular. --doncram (talk) 21:14, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

development

I don't know if the CDP topic should stay merged with the topic of Simsbury Center, the neighborhood or village. But, certainly if the CDP topic is kept here, and it is the title of the article, the CDP's area should be described. What other villages/neighborhoods are included in the large area of this CDP? And, can a map of the CDP be put directly into the article, or linked? --doncram (talk) 21:22, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No other villages/neighborhoods are included. It does include a large swath of suburban development that is not traditionally part of the original town center village.

What is source for area of this CDP? Copy of map, or link to map, would help

Source for area is the same as with any other CDP article on Wikipedia.

Does this CDP exist currently, in what census periods did it exist?

Yes, CDP exists and recertified for 2010. It has been counted since 1950.

What is relationship to Weatogue, Connecticut CDP? Looking at shaded region in Google map, i wonder if this is now the same CDP?

Weatogue is a separate area south of this one but adjacent. Boundary runs along Stratton Brook Road.

Does the CDP may include some or all of the area of Simsbury Center Historic District?

All of the historic district is in the Simsbury Center CDP.
