A fact from Paddington Waterside appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 November 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the redevelopment of the Paddington area of London was intended to be comparable in scale to Canary Wharf?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/November.

Keep?

Is this article really worth keeping? It seems to relate to a housing development in London, but somehow ends up being a "rail related" stub because it occupies former railway land. Should it not be deleted?ColourSarge 17:13, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It should definitely be kept - this is a huge development, as evidenced by the fact that several of the subprojects within it have their own article. It does look a bit healthier now,<g> it could go to WP:GA assessment after a bit of time to prove stability. Le Deluge (talk) 20:30, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to see it kept. It marks the place of a boater at an important overnight stop between the suburbs and Limehouse Basin, 1 day away. I have a better picture of the Basin taken alongside St Mary's and showing the vibrancy of the buildings there against the water. Not just for boaters, there are opportunities for commuters, and people working in the buildings to sit on a bench and take in something of the atmosphere for a time.
