Lukinswood

I'd like to nominate Lukinswood for notable suburb status, due to it now containing the Emergency Brodcast system. --Tyl110 07:22, 29 August 2009 (BST)

Quoting the above criteria:
"A unique and noteworthy building exists in this suburb. This usually doesn't make a suburb noteworthy at all, unless important events on the history of Malton happened there."
While I can see the broadcast station drawing some sort of major event in the future, it's yet to host anything particularily noteworthy. As much as I'd like to see it get recognition, I'm not sure it warrants any (yet).--~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 07:31, 29 August 2009 (BST)

I don't think anything is noteworthy other than Greater Ridleybank and the two suburbs with gatehouses, but Owsleybank is now more notable than Yagoton, Eastonwood, Pitneybank, or Shearbank, and thus meets the community standard, if not my own. --VVV RPMBG 05:18, 25 May 2010 (BST)

Pitneybank has a gatehouse (Tongue :P), but I'd think we need to wait and see. Owsleybank is a place where something big could happen. Right now though, I wouldn't say that anything worthy of a historical note on the map has happened yet. Hundreds of people gather every day in Creedy and/or Giddings, but thta's an everyday occurrence. Just because it happens in a different location than usual doesn't make it special, in and of itself. For now, I'm definitely of the "wait and see" mind. Aichon 07:18, 25 May 2010 (BST)

Owlseybank

I'd like to nominate Owlseybank. As the location of the (failed) ESCAPE attempt, it certainly deserves some notice. Stanbury Village was given special notice for being the site of the Strike, in addition for being part of the territory of the RRF and all that. Unique event: ESCAPE, although not successful, was definitely this. Important/Historical Group: although it failed in its bid for the title of "historical," it was one of the largest survivor groups that Malton has seen for some time. In fact, it was stronger than the Dual Nature movement, the RRF, Feral Undead, and most of the other "important" groups out there. (Although it did get crushed, for a number of reasons.) Noteworthy building: the only attempt to get out of Malton was made in the railway station. I'd say that makes it noteworthy.--Sam 2334 22:01, 14 October 2010 (BST)

I'd disagree. On Strike resulted in literal game changes happening. ESCAPE? Not so much. Can you point to anything that has changed in terms of general thought or actual gameplay in the months since ESCAPE? Also, you conflate strength and size. Aichon 22:17, 14 October 2010 (BST)
In hindsight, Escape didn't make Owsleybank all that important. It's still just another suburb, even if there was a big event once upon a time. I'm not saying it shouldn't be remembered, but that the way to do it is by finishing up this page and nominating it as a historical event already. --VVV RPMBG 06:27, 15 October 2010 (BST)

The three qualifications for noteworthy suburb are satisfied by Roftwood. Through the existence of historical events and historical groups, it must be acknowledged that the suburb has had an effect on the community of Malton. For a more in depth report on a series of lectures hosted in a notable building, please visit the links provided at the Quartly Lecture Group. --Sir Fred of Etruria 02:50, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Ehh...I don't know. I wasn't around during Open Air, so I don't know how important it was to the community as a whole. Seems like it may have been historical, but perhaps only of significance to the locals, given that it was a local event that was intentionally avoiding attention (when it finally got attention, it fell apart, after all). And the horde you mentioned seems to have finished in Roftwood, but I don't see any ties to Roftwood like we do with Ridleybank and the RRF or Eastonwood and the Eastonwood Ferals. The QSG are definitely noteworthy (one of my favorite groups that I'm not in, in fact), but when you compare it against the other noteworthy suburbs, I just don't see Roftwood standing beside them as a peer.

Hmm. Lets have Kempsterbank as well. SFHNAS have outlived the EF and Extinction. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 17:46, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Dunell Hills

I would like to nominate Dunell Hills. With only 1 Necrotech building it is a place of hard fights between The Dead and DHPD. I also think the recent events (1400+ The Dead members) will make the history of this suburb even more interesting. Jelito2008 15:27, 15 April 2011 (BST)

Dunell Hills and the DMZ have been a fucking deathtrap for years now thanks to The Dead, even with the attention of one of the game's largest and oldest survivor groups and various others. And there have been a lot of attempts at retaking it. I'd say that with this in addition to its other history that it's definitely worthy of being marked notable. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾ 22:15, 15 April 2011 (BST)
Having myself once tried to reclaim that suburb, I concur. Even at their downtime with membership in the lower double digits, The Dead made it hard to make lasting progress (and it has been tried and tried). -- Spiderzed 22:19, 15 April 2011 (BST)
Seems fair --Rosslessness 22:51, 15 April 2011 (BST)

Where would we vote on Dunell Hills? --Karloth Vois ¯\(°_o)/¯ 15:50, 3 May 2011 (BST)
Generally you don't. It seems pretty well accepted that the occupation of the Dead for a number of years has made Dunell Hills noteworthy as one of the deadliest places in Malton. Updating. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 16:21, 3 May 2011 (BST)
Looks good, cheers karek! --Karloth Vois ¯\(°_o)/¯ 20:15, 3 May 2011 (BST)
I fixed it up a little. "Visit with caution" is a warning that is only applicable to survivors, after all, since zombies have free reign in the suburb last I checked. Also it's not the "home" of the Dead, it's merely where we came into being. The whole city is our playground. --カシュー, ザ ゾンビ クィーン (ビープ ビープ) Katthewsigtag.gif @ 11:34, 4 May 2011 (BST)
k, what ever works. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 16:43, 4 May 2011 (BST)
