Talk:Santa Maria Skate Park

Public resource of Skate Parks, especially free, need to be accessible by the public in a non advertising medium such as wikipedia. Gothic0castle (talk) 05:19, 14 April 2010 (UTC)


 * As reviewing administrator, I think that since  there is no mention of any city parks in the article for the city, or elswhere in WP, the best solution is that a section should be started there for them, and this article merged in as a single sentence listing with perhaps one phot, and the others added. For this to be a separate article seems disproportionate; in addition, the  needs to be substantial coverage   for it n 3rd party independent references published in reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs, nor derived from their web page or public relations.     If this is not done, nd done quickly,  the article will probably be deleted.    DGG ( talk ) 16:19, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments. I believe that this article has a need to exist separate from the Santa Maria wiki page for the reason that unique wiki pages exist for other skate parks. Skate Parks are separate cultural entities from the cities they reside in, and size and fame of skate park is of lessor consideration than accessibility to the public. I envision unique wiki pages for all publicly accessible skate parks. Incorporating or merging to an already large article will only add to a cluttered and less readable wiki experience. I think of this in the same vein of subroutines and their known preference for clarity for computer programmers, or more modernly, objects in object oriented programming philosophy.

Note, that a 3rd party independent reference published by the Santa Maria Times has been added. More media references will undoubtedly become available as this is a relatively new skate park.

Note, that some other skate parks have their own wiki page without references. Gothic0castle (talk) 05:19, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
