Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested speedy deletion. As the article states, this "is a small amusement pier". Although it operates a rare Wonder Wheel I see no indication of notability for either the venue or the company that operates it. De728631 (talk) 19:22, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

WHAT IN THE FXXX IS YOUR PROBLEM???? THIS ARTICLE IS NO LESS INSIGNIFICANT THAN MANY OTHERS. In fact piers and parks far smaller than this one and many the same size are articles. Examples - Land Of Make Believe in Warren County NJ, Rye Playland, Luna Park at Coney Island the 2010 incarnation, dozens of small water parks, among other parks and piers in the same league with Deno's Wonderwheel Park are not being pushed for deletion. What annoys me is doesn't someone have better things to do with their time (especially if they live on the east coast being we have shorter days) than look for articles to delete on Wikipedia - So this article should remain - WHAT HARM IS IT DOING??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.6.44.113 (talk) 21:04, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Note to admin: - AFD tag was removed from article on Jan 31. I have restored the tag -- Whpq (talk) 15:08, 1 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - The amusement park has been covered as part of the Coney Island complex. This article notes it as a landmark attraction.  Some coverage of operations.  Coverage in Ny Daily News.  Apparently it and other atttractions have been called "squalid".  More coverage.  There's more news coverage behind pay walls.  Coverage also exists in books like this, this -- Whpq (talk) 15:09, 1 February 2011 (UTC)


 * WHY DOES ANYONE WANT THIS ARTICLE DELETED SO FAST??? What harm is it doing? Someone must have plenty of time on their hands to look for articles they dislike. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.6.44.113 (talk) 17:49, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment. If you want this article to be kept then a better use of your time would be to follow Whpq's example by finding reliable sources, such as books and newspaper articles that have coverage of this amusement park, rather than ranting about other editors. SHOUTING won't help to save this article, but presenting evidence of notability will. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:17, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep This is a significant amusement park at a world-famous location for amusement parks.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 19:14, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Merge to Wonder Wheel. All the relevant coverage seems to be about the Wonder Wheel and not the park itself.  I don't believe that notability is inherited for an amusement park if only one of its attractions is notable.  Ravendrop (talk) 00:28, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Park appears notable enough for an article.  Dough 48  72  01:08, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete lacks indepth coverage. most of the coverage confirms it exists rather than indepth . LibStar (talk) 06:03, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The |11667|deno's%20wonder%20wheel%20park||S|b|5523615312 address, Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park, 3059 Denos Vourderis Place, New York, NY 11224, speaks all by itself to the park's having been noticed by someone that names streets (or places). The city has designated the place an official "New York City Landmark".  I looked at two of the secondary sources provided by Whpq and both were in-depth coverage of the park (Lilliefors p. 41, and Dog day afternoon at Coney Island: Ferris wheel dog goes round and round).
