Similar rationale to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lakeshore Corridor. I tried searching for secondary sources that mention and describe the term, but they are very limited, and what few that do exist are commercial journals, industry publications, and news stories about local businesses. None of them are what I'd call reliable sources, nor do they really describe the area, aside from a few mentioning at best that it's a (vaguely if defined at all) area around Interstate 90 in Northwest Chicago. Therefore, it fails WP:N. My interpretation is that it appears to be a WP:NEO created by local businessmen and investors as a marketing/branding term that hasn't really been promoted outside of those circles.

- Comment: The first nomination from 2005 appears to have been about a different Golden Corridor in Dallas. (The Chicago one was actually mentioned there as having far more Google hits back then than the Dallas one, but that metric is less relevant to AfD in 2026 than back then.) No opinion at this time on the current subject's article. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 15:34, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

- Delete 20 years to find sources and none of the currently cited ones even mention this place. I saw a few very passing mentions in news archive searches but no articles actually about this as a distinct area. --Here2rewrite (talk) 16:40, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
