Comment: The draft gives little indication why the subject is notable: Where is the neighborhood located (how far from the center of Atlanta, which direction), how many people live there, landmarks (other than the Duck Pond)? Expansion might also include location coordinates, local government representation, public transport.... Paul W (talk) 11:50, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
