The Sanctuary (Derby)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Lacks significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent to prove notability. The citations here are mostly primary. JMHamo (talk) 22:22, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I created this article, but not its content, which I split off from Pride Park as it accounted for over 50% of that article. I agree that the references aren't great at present, but I'm going to have a look and see how they could be improved. I think coverage of the abandoned scheme to build a cycle track over part of it may provide decent sources: there's this BBC article, for example. Jellyman (talk) 23:19, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm glad I stumbled across the AfD discussion in time. I created much of the content on the LNR within the original Pride Park article. I don't feel responsible for a lack of content on other elements of the Pride Park article, which definitely do needs expanding. Regarding Notability, partial destruction of The Sanctuary Bird Reserve and LNR would have set a significant national precedent by being the first LNR in the UK ever to have been destroyed by the same local authority that originally declared it as a LNR, had the development plans not been challenged by the initiation of a judicial review . This could have had major implications for nature reserves across England and put their future security, as places for people and for wildlife, in doubt. My recent edits (and inclusion of a quote from a wildlife trust) have attempted to reflect why the campaign and judicial review action was of such national significance. I don't think the article Jellyman created from the Pride Park article reflected this fact, so I have  added secondary references to support  this. I should also declare a WP:COI as I was involved in some of the activity to help save the LNR from harm. Perhaps others are better placed to ensure a neutral POV, but I hope the national significance of the legal action and the implications for all of England's protected Local Nature Reserves has come through. I would argue that The Sanctuary is a signicant element of Pride Park, and is notable for the unusual threat of destruction surrounding it. I think it merits an expanded section within the Pride Park article, or, as now, its own article. So I go with Do Not Delete Parkywiki (talk) 20:22, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
