Bois Beckett Forest

Forest does not appear to meet the requirements of WP:GNG KDS 4444  Talk  00:29, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Except for the one source cited, there appears no other sources to support the notability of this place. Does not meet WP:GNG. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:44, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep (or merge with Sherbrooke). I can understand why people would opine "delete". The article is badly titled (it should be either Beckett Woods Park or Parc du Bois-Beckett). The article didn't even state where this forest is located and was copied virtually verbatim from a tourist site. I've cleaned it up and found several references. It does have a certain amount of notability in Quebec, e.g. "Le bois Beckett, là pour rester". La Tribune and "Cinq balades à Sherbrooke". La Presse. Voceditenore (talk) 14:58, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

 * There's also a previous 2009 story in La Tribune. I think we have just enough that it barely meets WP:GEOLAND, even though I confess I'd never heard of it. Keep. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:44, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. In my opinion this is notable, per WP:GEOLAND but also separately because of its documented scientific significance. Thparkth (talk) 20:43, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
