Overlook Park (Towson, Maryland)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG. County park with a few ballfields, a playground, and a roller hockey court. Even has restrooms. Rusf10 (talk) 05:26, 19 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Is there an inclusion criteria for parks? I know in BC all Provincial Parks have articles (or very close). Many city parks have pages. Parks are usually quite permanent geographical features and there is only an information benefit to readers, no commercial or ego benefit to anyone around a park page. The infobox shows a whole bunch of county and local parks in Maryland.l, and that's true for every state. I'd think about targeting less useful more spam type pages for deletion.

 *  Keep or Redirect to Towson, Maryland. I added a little sourced info to the page, more sources exist from which this Park can certainly be expanded.   I completely agree with User:Legacypac, that Nom's deletion nominations of all parks named "Overlook" (Articles for deletion/Overlook Park (Oviedo, Florida) list here: ) is not a thoughtful or especially useful contribution to the project.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:15, 19 March 2018 (UTC) Modifying opinion after further searches.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:49, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete it's not notable. Just a run of the mill park. Lepricavark (talk) 17:27, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep very notable 12 acre park with rpller hockey and sand volleyball court. Has seen controversy over maintenance issues. Very substantially covered in reliable independent sources. Bad nom. Wikipedia polocy is very clear about geographical features and protected places. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:19, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - Not notable. Just another WP:ROTM park with WP:ROTM features (playfield, court, proposed skate park), with WP:ROTM issues like funding and maintenance with nothing that sets this park apart from parks of similar size and functions. Acnetj (talk) 23:27, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete A few mentions in local media is not notability. Reywas92Talk 20:21, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
