"Self promoting"?? According to the article the subject passed away in 1997... The nom is therefore completely incorrect. Andrew Eugene, can you tell us how you have ascertained that someone who had a park in Toronto named after him is not notable, per WP:BEFORE? Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 15:48, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. Nice gesture, but having a park named after oneself is not enough. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:56, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:BIO1E. If the park were notable and had its own article, we could merge this one there, but I suspect it's not notable either. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:21, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per David. - Turtlepump (talk) 16:04, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
