Emma Lazarus Park

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This isn't a public park, but per http://emmalazarus.com/about.html " a privately owned garden in Carrick, PIttsburgh" emmalazarus.com is operated by Shoham Ariel Zober, the author of The Diamond Compendium. The author of this article, Shoham0211  has also written Columbia of Carrick about the mural in the "park", made contributions to Open Source (to add his writing), Carrick (Pittsburgh) to add the park to Public facilities, and a number of other articles to add links or information about the park or the mural. Curiously, we are never told where this park is, which seems somewhat unencyclopedic. No independent, reliable sources that offer significant coverage of this park seem to exist. The extant sources are either primary, (emmalazarus.com, feed-forward.net) or do not mention the subject at all (pghcitypaper.com, pittsburghartistregistry.org, poetryfoundation.org) Vexations (talk) 14:37, 3 September 2020 (UTC) (UTC)


 * Hello, these are extraordinarily relevant public things -- are they owned y the government? No, they aren't. But it was an automated bot who added this page to Pittsburgh Parks. I don't think it necessarily belongs there, but this is a Park and it is in Pittsburgh. The park is in Carrick -- on Hornaday Street -- the exact location would be updated. Do you know anything about Carrick? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shoham0211 (talk • contribs)

 * Delete even if this was a public park it would not be notable. It might be worth having a well-sourced one sentence mention in the article on Emma Lazarus but there is no reason for a free standing article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:56, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete the only redirect target would be Emma Lazarus and that may be WP:CHEAP. I checked and from what I found this is not a notable park on its own. I could dedicate my own private garden to Judas Priest, yet if I did not have multiple RS in the article - it would not be notable. FYI: I found it strange that none of the sources in the article are about the Emma Lazarus Park. Why then is there an article? Is this an editing trick? Adding unrelated sources so that the article appears to be supported? Please correct me if I am wrong. Lightburst (talk) 16:00, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - There is zero online or in the way of reliable sourcing about this park. Fails notability criteria. Netherzone (talk) 17:29, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete there is zero coverage out there. Appears to be a promotional effort for the park and the mural. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:58, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Like others above, I looked for sourcing and found nothing. Does not meet WP:GNG. Camerafiend (talk) 14:58, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-notable, private garden. Bearian (talk) 19:43, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
