The only source for this being called "lower bottoms" is the first link. the rest of the refs do not support notability at all. I believe the area is known as Oakland Point, Oakland, California [1] Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:46, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, for now. Lower Bottoms is the colloquial name for the neighborhood by those who live there. It's also listed as the neighborhood name on Google Maps, fwiw. Not sure if that passes the notability test for WP.--Chimino (talk) 05:13, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It's clear that the name is in common use, [2] including some references which are not behind paywalls.[3] [4] Unfortunately those are all just mentions; I could not find detailed sources ABOUT the neighborhood, and most of the information in the article is unconfirmed. Still, as a notable recognized neighborhood I think it deserves a place here. I'll see if I can clean up the article and add more sources. --MelanieN (talk) 15:34, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've expanded the article some. --MelanieN (talk) 18:48, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
