Experimentalfältet

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Withdrawn -- Reference (in Swedish, which I cannot read) supplied. This article is about a "field for experiments". The title is not meaningful in English. The article has been unreferenced since 2011. A PROD was reverted with the explanation that the building is notable. There are, apparently, references in Swedish, but no inline citation was provided. If the Frederick Bloom House is indeed notable, then the article should be MOVEed and the text recast to describe the house, and not the agricultural research garden Rhadow (talk) 13:19, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - this is a listed historic site (including buildings) in a European capital city = notable, and there are many good sources, including maps showing the exact extent of the site, which is more than a building (it was me that removed the PROD notice, and I apologise for referring to it as a "building" in the edit summary, when it is actually a whole area; I was trying to be succinct but ended up being misleading). Since this is a Swedish listed site, the sources are in Swedish: this is not a reason to delete the article. There are indeed no inline citations at present, and the article is tagged to that effect: this is also not a reason to delete it. The nom is being v literal-minded about the name. It is called Experimentalfältet for historical reasons (in the same sort of way as, for example, the Haymarket or Fetter Lane in London, where there are now neither hay nor fetters), and we wouldn't translate this to "field of experiment" any more than we would translate "Unter den Linden" or " Champs Elysees" into their English equivalents.Eustachiusz (talk) 02:29, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep looking at the "Sources" section one might get the idea that that's the "External links" section which could be a sign that the author of the subject isn't that familiar with WP:PROSE and how to properly source, but any more experienced editor can simply move those referenced inline and the subject matter will appear more notable, so I have an idea that this article is only here because of the (almost deceptive) way that it's sourced. --Donald Trung (Talk) (Articles) 06:04, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: In case somebody wants to improve the article to the satisfaction of the nominator, there is this 408-page monograph on the subject from 2000 (Ulrich Lange: Experimentalfältet : Kungl. Lantbruksakademiens experiment- och försöksverksamhet på norra Djurgården i Stockholm 1816-1907), which is likely to have references to older publications. From that link there is a further link to a PDF with an English-language abstract. It has been reviewed here and here. The LIBRIS keywords indicate that this book from the same year discusses the Experimentalfältet as well. --Hegvald (talk) 06:14, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the helpful reference. I've added this article to my To Do list, and will improve it to my own satisfaction, rather than that of the nomr.Eustachiusz (talk) 14:45, 11 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep notability established per above discussion confirming very subatantial coverage in reliable independent sources. FloridaArmy (talk) 10:45, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
