[edit] Radlands

Radlands (discussion|history|protect|delete|undelete|logs|links) – (View log)

Article doesn't seem to establish sufficient notability. Prod was removed with little imporvement. there are zero references and zero pages link there. Author is new and named User:Radlands4life and may be vanity or COI; user's only edits. Many uncited superlative words. Reywas92Talk 23:47, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Weak delete - violates WP:MEMORIAL and WP:N, and the core content policies WP:NPOV, WP:NOR and WP:V. Would be a speedy candidate, but for the unsubstantiated and untrue claim of notability A verifiable assertion of possible notability has now been found. EJF (talk) 12:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC) .

Finally, I've found a non-trivial reliable secondary source, on this Northamptonshire BBC feature that said, I'm not sure if it is enough to make this park notable. After all it is only one source, and is very local - this park (and its closure) did not attract national coverage. I have rewrote the article (removing all the nonsense I mentioned above) using this and MoP's source, with an overly-liberal use of in-line cites. I'm not entirely convinced of notability, but I am now a weak keep. EJF (talk) 12:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. Insufficient evidence of notability from WP:RS. I found couple of press mentions indicating it was one of the oldest, most established UK skate parks. The fan memorial page should go. • Gene93k (talk) 14:13, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep This calls it "one of Britain's biggest skate parks", which leads me to believe there's some degree of notability here. I'm not finding very many sources, however. Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 02:18, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Change of vote to Keep per EJF, additional evidence, and EJF's rewrite of the article. • Gene93k (talk) 00:18, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - first indoor skate park in Britain seems to signify notability to me. matt91486 (talk) 04:40, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable enough to keep. Gary King (talk) 10:04, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep After rework of EJF good enough to keep Neozoon 00:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
