General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - I can't actually read the sources, but they seem to be reliable, so am accepting in good faith.
  • Interesting: Unknown

QPQ: No - QPQ needed
Overall: Not strictly necessary but I think you should add references to "The first road was built in 1920." and "The park has remained closed for several months since the fire." epicgenius (talk) 19:39, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

@Cbl62: Can you respond to the above comment so that this nomination can proceed? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:29, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
@Cwmhiraeth: I left Cbl62 two messages on their talk page (the first was a month ago, the second was a little over a week ago), but have received no response. However, they have continued editing during this time. Should this nomination be considered abandoned, or should we wait a little longer? epicgenius (talk) 18:00, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
@Epicgenius: It is disappointing that @Cbl62: has not responded seeing that this article is his creation and he nominated it himself. I have commented out the two statements you were concerned about, and I will donate an extra review I have done (Juliet Appiah) so I think you could approve the nomination now if you think fit. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:40, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
@Epicgenius: Sorry about that. Thank you, Epicgenius. When I have a moment, I will pass a QPQ back to you, if that works. Cbl62 (talk) 20:17, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
  • @Cbl62: QPQ needed for this nomination to proceed. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:06, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
  • @Cbl62: Ping. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:17, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
  • Cbl62 has been unable to respond to multiple requests for a QPQ. However, as Cwmhiraeth has donated a QPQ of theirs, the QPQ issue has been addressed. As there are no more outstanding issues with this nomination, this should now be good to go. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:15, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
