Bayberry, New York

The notability of the topic and the validity of the article are both in doubt. According to the article, this is a residential subdivision of just 200 homes, inside an incorporated city. Nothing in the article suggests anything unusual about this subdivision. The main sources cited in the article document that this place exists are maps that identify it not as "Bayberry", but "Bayberry Park." The one source that refers to "Bayberry" is in a discussion of the author's childhood in the introduction to a book -- a book that is not otherwise about Bayberry. Except for that book reference and the content sourced to it (which I added), the only substantive contributions to this article have been made by sockpuppets of Jvolkblum, a banned user with a long record of not being truthful. Considering the lack of verification and the relatively trivial nature of the subject, I submit that it is better for Wikipedia to delete the entire article than to retain it on the off chance that it might be OK.
