Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Half Moon Island Trail

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge to Half Moon Island. Consensus appears to have established that the subject doesn't warrant a seperate article, as it lacks significant coverage in reliable third party sources. Discounting the second keep comment, as the user has been blocked for socking, the first keep comment could have been stronger if sources had been present. However, because information is relevant to Half Moon Island, there appears to be a consensus to merge. (non-admin closure) Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 14:56, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Half Moon Island Trail

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No WP:N notability for this trail. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. First source just a map. The next two don't mention the trail and don't varify the claims made. The last is unreleated to the trail and is tourist quide that is not a reliable source and doesn't varify the claim made. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:41, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep—this trail has been covered by the BBC, The Guardian and it is the subject of the first Google Street View coverage for Antarctica. That satisfies WP:N for me. Imzadi 1979 → 07:58, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the coverage of this trail by the BBC and The Guardian. It is not the subject of the first Google Street View coverage for Antarctica. duffbeerforme (talk) 01:11, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This trail is not notable. The above comment is incorrect: the BBC and Guardian links don't mention a "trail" at all. Google for title in quotes gave me 19 results (including WP page), none significant. This is not a common name for anything, and the Google Street View activity is covered in Half Moon Island. Could merge content with Half Moon Island. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:33, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Did the nominator check for additional sources, or base this nomination only upon sources within the article? Topic notability is based upon the availability of reliable sources, not just those in articles. Also, the article was just created yesterday, on 14 March 2012. Why a sudden nomination to delete without allowing time for article improvements and expansion? Perhaps consider allowing time for articles to be improved, rather than immediately nominating them for deletion right after they're created.

Yes I checked for other sources but i found a lack of coverage in independent reliable sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 01:11, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The Half Moon Island itself appears to be pretty notable. A Google search brings up several results for a trail on that island. And Colapeninsula makes a good argument for the trail's notability. OldGeorgie (talk) 16:26, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please show us any good result google bought up? duffbeerforme (talk) 01:11, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It may be different for other users, but when I go to Google Maps to look at these (very cool) pictures, the map describes the path as "Half Moon Island Route 1". Although the path is mentioned in a number of sources, the phrase "Half Moon Island Trail" itself turns up almost nothing at Google. In addition, note that there is an ongoing MfD for another brand-new page about the path, which had been saved in WP space as a "humor" page: see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Penguin Path 306. My inclination would be to merge any usable content here to Half Moon Island. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:05, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Half Moon Island. The details of the trail can be covered there. Dough 48 72 23:26, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Half Moon Island, which would consolidate the information in one place. Northamerica1000^(talk) 23:47, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Half Moon Island per arguments above. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 08:37, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
