Swings-N-Things

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Small amusement park with little coverage and no apparent coverage other than a single local source. Is this source really even reliable? It appears to be treated as a newspaper, but doesn't look at it; and there's apparently no detailed coverage except from one of these sources, currently reference #2, the "Unique retreats". I previously searched for coverage and couldn't find anything reliable. Nyttend (talk) 02:46, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per nominator. I can't find any sign of the depth-of-coverage as required at WP:N guidelines for inclusion.  --Jayron32. talk . contribs  03:41, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator and Jayron32. I am also unable to find coverage of the sort that indicates notability. Thryduulf (talk) 10:28, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Swings-N-Things pioneered the family entertainment industry and continues as a leader and innovator in the industry. The first two references are reliable, the first actually being a magazine and the second a major business newspaper in Cleveland. The articles are no longer available on their original website, so they are linked to in Access My Library. Also, this article has more verifiable information and this place is more notable than many of the other amusement park stubs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TPOLMike (talk • contribs) 16:22, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a good article and the place is important to people of Cleveland and is responsible for many first's in the FEC industry nationally. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.183.187.100 (talk) 20:00, 1 July 2009 (UTC) — 70.183.187.100 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep. Sources look pretty reliable to me!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.240.179.100 (talk) 14:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC) — 72.240.179.100 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. Never heard of it. Even if I had heard of it, doesn't seem signficant enough.  Seems Hoaxalicious. Baileyquarter (talk) 00:14, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Neutral for now, it's close, hey, everyone who said keep, do you have any National sources or coverage for this?--CastAStone//₵₳$↑₳₴₮ʘ№€ 01:20, 5 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. No significant coverage, so doesn't pass WP:CORP or WP:GNG. Also, Gnews shows way more hits for a similarly named retailer in SoCal. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 03:22, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
