non-notable municipal park. Looks like it used to be a popular place to go sledding, but outside of that, there's no significant coverage, fails WP:GNG Rusf10 (talk) 18:27, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have no trouble finding detailed coverage. Andrew D. (talk) 18:35, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- just because there is coverage doesn't mean an article is appropriate. Rhadow (talk) 00:05, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete detailed coverage is not the same as coverage in reliable sources, which is lacking.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:57, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge / Redirect to Montville, New Jersey While there doesn't appear to be enough sourcing here to merit a standalone article, ~~but~~ there is material and sourcing that could be and should be merged to the article for the parent municipality. It's not clear why this was not considered based on WP:BEFORE and WP:PRESERVE. As specified in the AfD heading, "When discussing an article, remember to consider alternatives to deletion. If you think the article could be a disambiguation page, redirected or merged to another article, then consider recommending "Disambiguation", "Redirect" or "Merge" instead of deletion. Similarly, if another editor has proposed an alternative to deletion but you think the article should be deleted instead, please elaborate why."
I look forward to support for a merge and / or explanations for why a merge should not be considered. Alansohn (talk) 05:07, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And, I'm still looking forward to you telling me what the merge target was for this one: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George Street Co-op--Rusf10 (talk) 05:34, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Another battleground here from Rusf10; what does Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George Street Co-op have to do with this Af?. Look at the beginning of my vote at this edit, where I state Merge / Redirect to Montville, New Jersey. Is this a serious objection? Alansohn (talk) 05:55, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Battleground? You're the one who keeps inserting these unnecessarily long comments into AfDs to critize me. You come here to attack me and now you're trying to play the victim. The point of bringing up the other discussion is you ignore my questions but demand I answer yours. It just doesn't work that way.--Rusf10 (talk) 06:07, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've proposed a merge target, and your only response was to battle about a different AfD. The merge target here is Montville, New Jersey, though I would consider Towaco, New Jersey as an alternative.

As policy states, "When discussing an article, remember to consider alternatives to deletion. If you think the article could be a disambiguation page, redirected or merged to another article, then consider recommending "Disambiguation", "Redirect" or "Merge" instead of deletion. Similarly, if another editor has proposed an alternative to deletion but you think the article should be deleted instead, please elaborate why." Per policy, I've asked you and all other participants here to consider the merge target. I look forward to a meaningful response. Alansohn (talk) 06:11, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All I can tell you is it looks really hypocritical that you won't answer my question in the other discussion (presumably because you can't back up your claims) and you're demanding I answer you question here. So if someone else wants to answer your question here, they can go ahead, but I will not until you answer my questions.--Rusf10 (talk) 06:25, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, now I'll answer the question. I would not outright oppose a merge, as you suggested. There just isn't much to merge. The only thing written about the park seems to be that it used to be a popular place for sledding.--Rusf10 (talk) 06:31, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The strikeout, which removed an entirely unjustified attack, is a good-faith step in the right direction as is the consideration of a merge. Any preference for which article would be the better merge target? Alansohn (talk) 06:33, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or Redirect to city article.AD may kindly provide the sources that provides significant coverage about the topic.Winged Blades^Godric 12:26, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge / Redirect to Montville, New Jersey - or Towaco. There's enough sourcing out there to merge it somewhere, I'll bow to local opinion in teh Garden State on where.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:21, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
