Northwood Gratitude and Honor Memorial

Non-notable local memorial. Only coverage outside of local paper is one LA Times article. James (talk/contribs) 23:16, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep clearly meets WP:GNG, plenty of news coverage and no-one has even touched upon the sources related to the local debate that happened to allocated the $210,000 expense of this structure. Its a one-of-its-kind memorial listing all American service men and women killed in the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. So its hardly a local memorial, its a national memorial that happens to be in California. Its also not local coverage only, because as the nom notes it has gained national coverage. And before anyone asks, WP:NOTMEMORIAL is not relevant here :P Dysklyver  12:04, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep as a national memorial with all of those fallen in the two conflicts of Iraq and Afghanistan commemorated. Has reliable sources coverage including LA Times and Orange County Register which is a regional newspaper rather than local with a daily circulation of 250,000 Atlantic306 (talk) 13:34, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. - agree that it should be considered more than a mere local trivial memorial. It does have reliable independent sources for coverage. Kierzek (talk) 13:45, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per others' comments, and note that significance is asserted: "it is the only known memorial in the United States dedicated to listing by name all American service men and women killed in the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq." - do  ncr  am  14:13, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Looks notable to me. I suspect there is (or will be) something incorporated into national memorials covering more wars, but that does not change things.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:46, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Has more than one article in the LA Times. Here's another   Hawkeye7   (discuss)  19:09, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
