Talk:Jurassic Way

Proposed deletion
I've googled this and can't see any reference to this trail anywhere except in wikipedialand. Needs to be deleted —Preceding unsigned comment added by SuzanneKn (talk • contribs) 18:59, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * See External links quoted - the Ramblers Association, East Midlands Tourism and Northants County Council are hardly 'wikipedialand', possibly you need a better search engine Saga City (talk) 20:36, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * There are plenty of hits from Google, and the article had has plenty of links that provide verifiability. It's a perfectly good article, and tagging it for speedy deletion was ridiculous.--Michig (talk) 22:30, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for putting external links on this article. I have gone through every long distance path a-j putting in the info box and checking them. This one did not check out in the 10 minutes I allocated as the articles I read did not use any other words than those in the article. I am still a little suspicious of this article as similarly the links given do not say very much about it. Even on the page there are red links. Having looked at many pages of this type I am suspicious of this trail. Sometimes you find that other websites repeat the information on wikipedia so you are therefore wrongly verifying yourself. I am also a bit suspicious as an 88 mile trail would be visited. Most of the other articles I have include pictures as many contributors are the type who go walking. Tagging it for speedy deletion was not 'ridiculous'. There have been progress on this improving this page. I am surprised that the speedy deletion tag has just been removed. I thought that these matters were discussed after a hold tag had been placed. SuzanneKn (talk) 18:37, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The path exists - the external links are reliable sources. Speedy deletion is for articles that clearly should be deleted, not for ones that you are 'a little suspicious about' or don't have pictures. The original editor is obliged to put a tag on the article if they dispute the speedy deletion, but any other editor can remove the speedy tag if they feel it is inappropriate. Googling "Jurassic Way" gives plenty in the first page of results to show that the subject of the article exists and is covered by reliable sources, so your assertion that you couldn't find anything on Google and that the page needs to be deleted is hard to accept. If you have specific concerns about an article, please use tag(s) appropriate to those concerns. If you feel a discussion is required before deletion, please use WP:AFD. Thanks.--Michig (talk) 19:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've added yet more to the article from the first couple of pages of Google results. Hopefully you'll now be convinced that the path exists.--Michig (talk) 19:29, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Since you seem to think that the Ramblers Association, East Midlands Tourism and Northants County Council may be complicit in a hoax against wikipedia please examine and explain why the Ordnance Survey shows this hoax entity on its maps. Saga City (talk) 20:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Assessment
Several of the links mentioned above now seem to be either dead or defective (I've marked and commented them. I havn't found identical alternatives on the same sites, so I left them marked because of the discussion above. I have added some generalised ones.--Robert EA Harvey (talk) 05:33, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Other usage
Lincoln Cliff, This web site, This web site, This description all talk of an ancient trackway (similar to the better known ridgeway) given the name Jurrasic Way. This usage is swamped in search engine results by the modern path designated by Northampton county council. It's an unforseen consequence of the choice of name, which they took from the earlier academic usage without subsequent acknowledgement.

If anyone can find some primary references (e.g. 'Gray' or 'Taylor' from the last example above) then I think this earlier usage should feature in the article at least as prominently as the modern path.--Robert EA Harvey (talk) 06:23, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
