Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of New York City parks relating to Hispanic and Latino American culture


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. I think it's clear that there's no consensus to delete this outright. I suggest continuing the discussion about a possible merge on the talk pages; possibly with delete off the table, it'll be easier to coalesce around either keeping this as is, or deciding which of several possible merge targets make the most sense. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:21, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

List of New York City parks relating to Hispanic and Latino American culture

No original research. While interesting, no sources provided to show this is a notable subject. Loksmythe (talk) 20:19, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I respectfully disagree. The article has many citations and the NYC Parks system is one of the biggest in America, undoubtedly notable.--Wil540 art (talk) 23:51, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

 * In hindsight, the title for this article is a bit clumsy. Perhaps better to rename it as "List of New York City Parks Relating to Hispanic and Latino Individuals and Culture," or something less wordy. That way parks not named after people, such as Quisqueya Playground can remain on this list. I'd like to get feedback on a more ideal name for the page. And of course, I'll continue to add more sources to back up those from the Parks Department web page. Rename, don't delete.--Queens Historian (talk) 16:49, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per my comment at Articles for deletion/List of New York City parks relating to Jewish culture: this is a list of namesakes, not indicative of how the park relates to H/L culture. "Many citations" and "biggest in America" have no bearing on the lack of sources on the topic as a whole, needed for WP:LISTN. Of course the park system is notable, but that doesn't mean every possible cross-categorization of name etymologies is notable. Reywas92Talk 01:05, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. There's not even one Hispanic and Latin (not Latino) American culture, is there? Clarityfiend (talk) 08:14, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
 * KeepIt is a helpful list for historians, tourists, and anyone interested in understanding the impact of Latino individuals, places, and events on New York City. Loksmythe is also trying to delete some of my other NYC Parks lists. Not sure why that user is picking on my articles. Let's send a clear message that this article deserves to stay!Queens Historian (talk) 02:09, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , I am not picking on you, I am simply following Wikipedia's policies. I actually find your articles interesting but they arguably don't pass Wikipedia's general notability guideline given that you appear to be engaging in No original research. Please familiarize yourself with these policies. Loksmythe (talk) 06:34, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep or merge with List of New York City parks. Similar situation to Articles for deletion/List of New York City parks relating to Jewish culture. While I do agree that the sourcing needs to be improved, the NYC Parks citations do show a history of the parks' respective namesakes. Many of them clearly say that it was named for a Hispanic/Latino subject. epicgenius (talk) 15:37, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge with Hispanics and Latinos in New York, per nom's reasoning and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Useful list, but not a topic for an encyclopedia, even one that is WP:NOTPAPER. I would also add other NYC infrastructure named for Hispanics and Latinos in the above, which is an existing non-controversial topic that is nearly empty and could use this content.

 * Delete a misnamed article that is an indiscriminate list.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:58, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
