West Parish Elementary School Science Park[edit]

This is a procedural nomination following discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 July 12. The original AfD was for West Parish Elementary School which is now a redirect to this article - interested editors may wish to consult both that debate as well as the resultant DRV discussion prior to submitting a recommendation here. In essence, it was argued that the school's notability hinged on the park's notability, therefore this AfD will also focus on whether the park is indeed notable. As a note to the closing administrator, if this discussion results in a deletion of the article, the redirect should also be re-deleted. Shereth 16:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as I said earlier, no significant notability for either. DGG (talk) 17:30, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I was amused by this article, but no real notability attaches to a playground in an elementary school, even if it does receive a profile or two in the local newspaper. RayAYang (talk) 18:46, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I have added three more refs. Notability comes from multiple reliable sources which this page now has. I would add that getting MIT professors involved in the park's design certainly seems notable. TerriersFan (talk) 19:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, at the risk of repeating myself. Neither the park nor the school meet notability standards. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:02, 19 July 2008 (UTC)\[reply]
Keep meets WP:N as there are multiple independent references that are non-trivial and largely about the subject. I know of no guideline or policy that would indicate that this article shouldn't stay. Hobit (talk) 20:28, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I was thinking that the one thing that could change my mind is recognition in the profession that it was significant, and then at Hobit's request I looked again at the source from the national site of the Parent-teachers Association, which I think does meet that requirement. The single local reporter in Boston writing 3 articles about a local event are of course not independent of each other. DGG (talk) 23:10, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As some say above there is more than one source and the sources are relible. I see this to be an exclent recorce for other schools to devolp there own park.CelesJalee (talk) 01:55, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - park is clearly notable -Samuel Tan 07:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
