Re: Merging away this page

[edit]

Seth Low Playground is more than just its namesake, it is a former pond, has a set of memorial trees, and occupies a junction where three street grids meet. If you appreciate NYC Parks as much as I do, don't you erase this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Queens Historian (talkcontribs) 04:54, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Queens Historian: I don't attempt to define notability based on what I care about. Wikipedia has objective criteria. Your refusal to accept a merge is resulting in me nominating this for deletion. Chris Troutman (talk) 05:08, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Queens Historian:Objectivity? Let's not get into a debate on that. To me, Wikipedia is a resource that can inform the public about places in their neighborhood, such as parks. I want readers to learn about the histroy of Seth Low Playground. Merging it with the page about Seth Low diminishes from the story of the playground.
@Queens Historian: I appreciate your effort and mission, but Wikipedia has strict rules and guidelines on what can and cannot be on this site. In your case, not every single park in New York City should have an article here and New Yorkers are not the only ones who check this site. Just because a few people use it does not mean everyone else in the world knows about it. A small playground in a neighborhood is very different from a major tourist attraction like Central Park. Also, we are not a travel or neighborhood guide, so there is no reason to have articles on every single local attraction in every neighborhood in the world. If you want, you can start your own wiki site for NYC parks.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.3.53.15 (talkcontribs) 5 February 2017 (UTC)
