The result was keep as withdrawn. Yes, I'm technically WP:INVOLVED here, but as I've been requested by the nominator to close this as withdrawn and nobody's advocating for deletion, I think a little breaking the rules is justifiable. Hog Farm Talk 15:07, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

fails WP:GNG and WP:RS, in addition to article, may be moved to Arcadia, New York Snowc776 (talk) 15:43, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Details: This article was previously created as Zurich, New York, as far as I know. No article currently exists for Zurich, so possible redirect to there? And Zurich NY is an existing city, and has a post office in Arcadia, which is nearby.

Comment: Looks like WP wont allow me to edit the comment with this one, so I have to leave it as is. Snowc776 (talk) 15:53, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Snowc776: - What are you seeing that gives that impression? All the way back to this original content in 2008 this article has been about the bog, it's never had a name change, and Zurich, New York doesn't appear to have ever existed. Hog Farm Talk 14:59, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oh sorry about that @Hog Farm I just wanted to see if this could be merged into Arcadia because Zurich is an existing village in NY. I have been to NY before and this wouldve been merged. I get your point about the bog not related to the city itself. So, can you close this and I will remove the AFD notice? Thanks Snowc776 (talk) 15:02, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As a federally designated National Natural Landmark, I would think notability is likely. Sources that provide coverage to corroborate this include [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. An alternative could be creation of the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society and merge there along with the organization's other conservation properties which include Bergen-Byron Swamp, another one of the 28 National Natural Landmarks in New York, all of which have articles or are appropriately covered in another article.

Comment So, this means natural landmarks doesn't need WP:GNG or Wikipedia:Verifiability? Snowc776 (talk) 17:49, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm sorry???? No, where did I say that?????? I see you've only been here for a week but AFD regulars may know I'm one of the more vehement editors saying that everything must pass GNG and there is no automatic notability. I said notability is likely for NNLs, not that they don't need to meet GNG. But then I provided 9 links that provide coverage indicating this location does pass GNG and verifiability. If you disagree that these are substantive enough I presented an WP:ATD because I think NNLs should still have coverage even if not warranting a stand-alone article. I can create clippings for the newspapers.com results if you can't access them. Reywas92Talk 02:56, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
