While the article in its current state is, no doubt, unsourced original research, I think there might be a topic here, given the community and cultural aspects. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time right now, but a quick search found this NPR story, and I wouldn't be surprised if Jane Jacobs wrote about it as well as part of a healthy neighborhood (I'll try to remember to check my copy later tonight). I also found this, but I don't know if that's a reliable source. Again, I just have a hunch and only had time for a quick search. Maybe it's just something to note in (and redirect to) porch? postdlf (talk) 00:27, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Keep The topic is, in fact, completly notable being covered in books such as The Art of Porch Sitting: A Societal Barometer. The current title is not a neologism and this would not be a reason to delete even if it were. The claim of OR is unsupported by any details or evidence. The article just seems to need more work per our editing policy. Kudos to the creator for suggesting it. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:05, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Delete Unsourced and OR. Potentially could be merged or redirected to people watching or as a section of porch. --Yaksar (let's chat) 13:57, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
