 * Keep I live in the Chicago area and I've heard of this park multiple times in the past. I've never been to the place, but its somewhat of a staple to the area and its closing made the newspapers. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 04:06, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Santa's Village, where most of the article's information already is. The three parks were operated by the same owner. These are relatively small theme parks oriented strongly at families bringing children, rather than a teenage/adult audience. Given the dearth of information on the three US locations, all now defunct, it seems there's little need for separate articles. --Dhartung | Talk 07:15, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

 * We might as well merge for now, but this topic could easily support its own article in the future (with a better title, though). Using Newsbank, I found sixteen Chicago Tribune headline results for Santa's Village since 1985, with over 100 additional full-text results. I think any theme park that has had a forty-seven year existence in a major metropolitan area would pass whatever notability test you could throw at it. Zagalejo 17:54, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
