Delete looks like this may be spam for this guy's theme park - whether spam or good faith, it's still NN - Blood red sandman 23:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. This is a roller coaster at a major amusement park--Hersheypark--run by what is probably the most well-known confectionary company in the world, Hershey. This makes it notable on its own, but it also gets nearly 25,000 google hits. It passes WP:V and is definitely not spam and definitely not the guy's theme park (unless it happened to be posted by the CEO of Hershey). I have done some major clean-up and formating work on this and listed it with Wikiproject Roller Coasters. Irongargoyle 05:01, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, or merge to Hersheypark, the information is useful. bbx 06:10, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - the original page looked like poorly-written adverspam, so I might have been a little hasty in nominating it.--86.133.180.144 11:02, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Part of a series of roller coaster articles. RFerreira 18:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. If 86.133.180.144 is Angry Lawyer, does the later comment count as a retraction? The Trailblazer is noteworthy as Hersheypark's second oldest still extant coaster, as an early steel coaster, for its quad helix and for the gentleness of the ride (it's advertised as a "family coaster" and is one of the few steel thrill coasters frequented by pre-teens). Hersheypark is hardly "some guy's theme park", it's nationally known and is home to some of the better coasters on the East Coast. Every Hersheypark coaster is worthy of inclusion if any is, and if you're going to delete Trailblazer you will logically have to delete all the rest as well, and why stop there? Let's ditch all the roller coaster articles. Heck, we can do without Wikipedia:WikiProject Roller Coasters too, can't we? If it remains a stub for much longer, perhaps merging with the Hersheypark article would make sense, but as part of a series of articles on Hersheypark coasters a merge does not make sense. Strong Keep with motion to expand. 12.22.250.4 22:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I've gotta say I agree with the above now the article has expanded/been rewritten. it was in dire condition when I said to delete. My vote is withdrawn - perhaps if Angry Lawyer withdraws his nom, then we can finish this off for good - Blood red sandman 12:17, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
