Snake Plissken Memorial Playground[edit]

A user a few days ago who refused to register for an account kept attempting to speedy delete this page (and succeeded once - the admin restored so it could be taken here). At the moment, I have no opinion. I can see how this topic could conceivably be notable if sources are found...I can also see how it wouldn't be. Smashville^BONK! 00:33, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - 2 line stub...no real sources will likely be found. The article is nowhere notable, it's merely a playground that's only claim to fame is it's named after a fictional movie hero. In addition the entire article was apparently written by one of the men responsible for the project, so it fails WP:COI as well as WP:SPAM. Take a look at the Facebook group, headed by a Mr. Dowd, and the article created by a D0wd11b (talk · contribs).

I will also admit that I was the user who did nominate this for CSD. I initially attempted to nominate the article as A3, however due to some template problems it showed up as a G1. It was rejected for being a G1 and having 3 web hits. I'm not quite sure what criteria he used, as I get only 29 all of which are blogs are message boards, and not reliable sources. I am somewhat regretful for the latter edits, as I did try to readd the CSD tag, due to frustration that the appropriate criteria would not show up and not an attempt to game the system. I also attempted to start an AFD however, I would need to register an account (as the AFD process requires page creation), but due to personal preference, I have not.--71.190.162.111 (talk) 01:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Wow, it's an intersection of WP:LOCAL and WP:FANCRUFT. How often does that happen? We have articles for famous people who have things named after them, but their notability does not automatically transfer to the things named after them, so they don't have articles on that basis. Unless this is famous for being a playground, say, winning an architectural or educational award, it's not even under consideration. --Dhartung | Talk 02:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless, of course, Kurt Russell attends the dedication. Mandsford (talk) 03:41, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as an obviously nonnotable article. Nyttend (talk) 03:43, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - just a playground, which appears to have gotten zero news coverage --T-rex 04:13, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - non-notable. Also I can't help but feel that this is a very elaborate hoax. Ben W Bell talk 04:56, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Yeah, it seems like a bad joke but it seems to be real. They begged for money on AICN, and the 1/182 CAV TF seems to have been in Kosovo at the time. Snake Plissken sounds like just the thing that a bunch of army guys would be able to bond with some Kosovan kids over. --Dhartung | Talk 07:59, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note - Twinkle had an issue and didn't post the notice to the page. --Smashville^BONK! 05:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, if true, it's interesting, but it's not encyclopædic. No secondary sources, so fails WP:V. Lankiveil (talk) 13:32, 8 January 2008 (UTC).[reply]
