Essentially spam for a non-notable book. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 21:36, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete At first I thought this was a page about some new horse treatment called "paddock paradise," but now I see that it's actually about a book. A non-notable book, mind you. flaminglawyer 23:09, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Do Not Delete Not sure what the hostility is about! Paddock Paradise IS a widely used term in the 'barefoot horse community' and is a well known concept on natural horse boarding. It has a specific meaning and should not be deleted just because you may not be aware of it. Paddock Paradise is a concept that was written about in a book by the same title but the term is NOT about the book. Within the horse world, it is a notable book. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mustang Roll (talk • contribs) 04:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It's not about a book, but about a concept of horse boarding and strategies for land use layout/planning/design that simulates the horses' natural environs - seems to be the opposite of "fenced acreage". Subject seems notable within the specialized community of horse lovers, many references to 3rd party independent sources in article, I dont have online access and cannot check, but found additional references corroborating the article's claims of notability
  • Copy of issue of The Horse Hoof magazine (yes! such a magazine exists), mentions concept and book
  • - Università di Bologna, Italy, Thesis for degree in Veterinary Medicine , mentions the concept (and the book)

I only searched for the book title, and for a June 2007 book release this is not so bad. Any concerns of advertising could be fixed. I'm puzzled by "One Google hit only for some satan worshipper" - I get loads of hits ("paddock paradise" gives 3.5k hits), mostly in blogs etc - so it is a concept being discussed in those circles.

• Keep. I'm prepared to accept that this is a legitimate article on a niche but potentially notable subject, current article quality aside. Article author has created several other articles on similar subjects, so maybe a merge would be appropriate if that wasn't the case.

• Merge and Redirect with Jaime Jackson. It appears that each of us has our own Google; when I try the search, I get around 3100 hits. However, when I try the same search but excluding the author's name, the numbers go way down—which tells me that it's his term, and it makes the most sense in the context of his article.
