Donegall Quay

Doesn't appear to meet WP:NPLACE / WP:GNG. Could possibly as an WP:ATD be merged/redirected to Belfast, but it could unbalance that article. Boleyn (talk) 19:59, 17 February 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:14, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Merge Not sure how one sentence would "unbalance" that huge article, but a little bit of a better look reveals the very obvious WP:ATD: List of parks and gardens in Belfast. Djflem (talk) 20:58, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep seems absolutely notable as an important piece of Belfast shipping history, even if it is just a park now:  A lot of what I've found is historical material behind paywalls so the article is difficult to improve easily, but a Google Books search and Google Scholar search should at least put notability beyond doubt.

 * Comment Doesn't appear a proper BEFORE was conducted, even if it "doesn't appear" notable, which is a weak nomination. Djflem (talk) 07:35, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * In fairness a simple search only brought up database type sites, but at the same time simple searches have gotten a lot worse over the past couple years I think. SportingFlyer  T · C  12:23, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment perhaps I should have been clearer in my wording - by 'it doesn't appear' to be notable, I meant after looking for sources, I couldn't prove that it is. I am reluctant to say for sure whether something is notable or not, just myopinion, as it's amazing what sometimes others bring up. Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 15:12, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * So does your clearer wording mean you were unable to determine if it was notable or not, and therefore decided, because of your inability to determine, to create a AFD nomination to let other people do the deeper research to satisfy your curiosity? Not sure that's the purpose of AfD nominations. Djflem (talk) 17:42, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep. Significant coverage is available in:
 * –– many references to Donegall Quay throughout the book.
 * There are quite a few other books on the Internet Archive with references to Donegall Quay, these were just the first three that looked most substantial. Jfire (talk) 01:26, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep per Jfire. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:14, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: per the strong coverage in a couple reputable books. She was  a fairy 09:46, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
