Manhattan North

A Google search for "Manhattan North" turns up a lot of results, but it seems they all refer to the police precinct or the book of the same name. Comments on the talk page suggest that this term doesn't really exist. Coffee 21:35, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I live in NYC, and am in Manhattan often, and have never heard this term. Uptown is used to indicate the northen part of Manhattan Island —M e ts501^talk 23:09, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Upper Manhattan. Irongargoyle 23:25, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Could a change of the article to the topic of the police precinct be useful? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irongargoyle (talk • contribs)
Delete Also live in NYC, and its referred to as Uptown as far as I have ever heard. Manhattan North is a reference to a police station as referred to in TV shows, never heard of it used outside of TV relation either. --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 12:36, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Replace with article about NYPD precinct grouping. I've never heard this term used except as a reference to the police precinct grouping -- not in books, not the New York Times, not in The New Yorker, not on TV, etc. I'd like to see a single contemporary reference to this term used this way. --Calton | Talk 05:05, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (or replace with article about a more relevant usage as noted above). As far as I'm aware, the normal local term is "Uptown", with "Downtown" referring to the opposite direction. (The Jargon File does have an entry for logical that notes a geekish usage of "logical north" that refers to the direction that corresponds to north in the structure of some system of streets or highways, even when it differs from true geographical north; the "Manhattan North" noted here seems to be a special case of this.) *Dan T.* 23:24, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
