Appears to be a clear WP:NOTDIR case. See also List of Parkruns in Australia (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Parkruns in Australia) and Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2023 April 1, in the latter discussion, the NOTDIR concern was raised by several experienced editors.

Thanks for the ping. While I agree that this AfD is appropriate, I choose not to provide an opinion at this time. Jclemens (talk) 20:07, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per list of Parkruns in Australia. Clearly WP:NOTDIR. Ajf773 (talk) 18:35, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is the sort of thing that readers would be better directed to the official source like https://www.parkrun.us/events/#geo=3.51/38.9/-96.41 rather than Wikipedia maintaining its own duplicate directory of non-notable small, local events like this. LOL at "Thanks to Louisville Parks Dept for the use of their park!" Reywas92^Talk 18:40, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per Wikipedia is not a directory and not satisfying list notability. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:21, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The "Thanks" mentioned by Reywas92 hit my copyvio alert and sure enough there is lots. egs [1], [2], [3]. There was a big copyvio dump here by User:The yeetgodboii. More here by User:Jinmohl. I've reverted the list itself to an older version and if this somehow survives afd content will need to be chopped from the history. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:07, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. On top of NOTDIR and NLIST add other WP:NOTs. Wikipedia is not a free web host for an organisations event listings. Is not a mirror of primary content. Is not a link farm. Is not a means of promotion. WP:PRIMARY, Do not base an entire article on primary sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:08, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Clear WP:NOTDIR violation. Stifle (talk) 08:55, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete clear WP:NOTDIRECTORY violation. Can't believe this and the UK equivalent survived AFDs in 2017, since no evidence has ever been given that these lists meet WP:GNG or WP:NLIST, and they clear violate WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:56, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
