Another "lost in mechanical translation" case, as Delaware Place Names, the ultimate source for GNIS, calls this a "suburban development." As soon as it appears in maps and aerials, it is essentially distinguishable from the adjacent city. At best a city neighborhood, and all the GHits seem to be clickbait.

• Redirect to Edgemoor, Delaware. It appears to be correct that this isn't actually its own thing, but merely a neighbourhood rather than a standalone place in its own right — but if you click on the municipal names on Google Maps to determine where the actual city limits are, the red arrow that denotes "Penn Rose" is outside the boundaries of Wilmington and inside the boundaries of Edgemoor.

• Delete Town articles should not even mention such generic subdivisions, so a redirect would not be appropriate, especially without minimal substantive coverage warranting inclusion. The Edgemoor article need not include this. Reywas92^Talk 04:08, 24 August 2021 (UTC) Reywas92^Talk 04:14, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Edgemoor, Delaware. USGS maps show a single house in 1901 and 1904. By 1943 there is a housing development; things stay about the same through 1954, 1967, 1993 and 1997 (a reservoir is constructed atop the hill, and some buildings on its south side). Looking at Google satellite maps, there are a couple rows of houses, a water tower, a self-storage joint, a couple stores... for all the world, it seems like a subdivision of Edgemoor, and if there are no more sources that refer to Penn Rose as a distinct locale, I don't see the basis for an article. jp×g 22:54, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
