Addie L. Greene Public Park

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )


 * Delete - This park is just another run-of-the-mill city park managed by Palm Beach County parks and recreation and there are hundreds of other little parks which local public figures helped to fund that do not, and for good reason, will never have Wikipedia articles. Sadly, Addie L. Greene is a public figure who is notorious for her race based comments and public encouragement to defy law enforcement. Furthermore, the article, prior to my edits, contained colossal errors which were never fixed until I stumbled upon this page while doing research on Addie L. Greenes' notoriety. Finally, I also noticed the article, prior to my edits, contained local business names; thus, providing further evidence the page was created only for advertising herself and those who she was close to. Allowing this page to stand I would say I could create about 200+ pages of even the tiniest park, say 47th street park, for which I am positive I can find someone who scrounged up a few thousand dollars to help "refurbish"; however, I am positive it wouldn't stand and therefore do not expect this to stand. Please also note, the creators of the page are no longer around and unable to be contacted, abandoning the page completely.Rmparten (talk) 05:26, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Merge to Mangonia Park, Florida. SpinningSpark 08:31, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - There are currently no parks listed in the Town of Mangonia Park and that would be incorrect as this park is managed by Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation after the local police had to be dismantled and the Palm Beach County Sheriff's office took over control. Merging this entire article isn't appropriate as there is absolutely no historical or geographical significance to the site that is worth mentioning in any type of encyclopedic material and should be removed. If Addie L. Greene wants to have a Wikipedia page she is more than welcome to create one, or someone else can, considering her tenure as a political figure meets more criteria for a Wikipedia page...thus, Delete is more appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmparten (talk • contribs) 14:10, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * It is a geographical feature in Mangonia Park and thus appropriate for that article. It is not really relevant who runs it.  Merge does not necessarily mean copying the article in its entirety. SpinningSpark 07:49, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Comment - Yes, so is the Mobile Gas Station, Winn-Dixie, and the Tri-Rail station; thus, using the same logic, I could create their pages and present your argument which, in my opinion, isn't valid to warrant keeping the page. The person for whom this page represents doesn't even have her own Wikipedia page and it is entirely possible for her to have one considering some of the "accomplishments" which are clearly documented as real history, this park is not even one of them so I have to differ on your reasoning to merge and stand by deletion of the page.Rmparten (talk) 04:12, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete: as non-notable; adopting @Rmparten's arguments and rationale. Quis separabit?  19:45, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete – Claiming that Addie L. Greene was controversial doesn't help the case against this article. If anything it makes her notable. That said, I don't think it's enough to overcome the fact that this is just a local park named after a local politician. – Margin1522 (talk) 06:37, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
