Black Country Urban Park

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A failed urban redevelopment proposal from 12 years ago. From archive.org records their website stopped being updated for at least four years after they didn't get lottery funding, and went offline some time after that. Lord Belbury (talk) 18:31, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment, a few words can be added at Black Country as an interesting footnote but not significant enough for a standalone article. Coolabahapple (talk) 01:23, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep per new sources. My research was hardly exhaustive but I fairly easily found new coverage. I suspect there is more. Even if the project is defunct, that wouldn't be a rationale to delete if the coverage is acceptable. Besides, the details of horribly failed public projects can make for fascinating reading. 31.54.34.61 (talk) 15:54, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Merge into Black Country. Per Coolabahapple above. Also, I would argue that WP:SUSTAINED applies here-- a brief burst of coverage announcing what was then a future event does not give notability if there is no subsequent coverage. Gilded Snail (talk) 19:06, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
