Douglas Park (Langley)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

are local parks worthy of articles, because I've been to this one and it is of no real significance to anyone beyond the people living within a few blocks except for being the site of a Freedom Week event organized by Tara Teng (recently this content was deleted).

 * Keep. In my opinion this park is notable due to its local significance. Thparkth (talk) 01:18, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. Very minor park in very small town. Dies not meet notability requirements at all. This was just part of Neelix's Tara Teng walled garden (the mention of it in that article has been deleted by now from article trimming). Softlavender (talk) 22:20, 30 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Our notability standards for city parks do allow some of them to make it into Wikipedia (for example, nobody would ever seriously suggest that we delete topics like Central Park, Stanley Park, Gorky Park, High Park or the Jardin des Champs-Élysées) — but they don't grant an automatic inclusion freebie to all municipal parks that can be shown to exist. But in this case there's no real claim of notability being made once you discount Neelix's misguided attempt to bestow notability on every single topic he could link in any way whatsoever to Tara Teng, and the level of sourcing is not adequate to fulfill WP:GNG.

 * Sure, but other sources provide various coverage, such as, , . Ultimately, it's mostly local, so I don't feel it qualifies for a standalone article. However, a merge would enhance the merge target article. North America1000 12:38, 7 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect, per NA1000. sst✈(discuss) 08:45, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect - Not enough for a standalone article. But would improve Langley, British Columbia (city) § Douglas Park as per Northamerica1000.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:36, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
