Talk:Dinsmore Golf Course

Deletion

This article isn't advertising and a Google Search gets 27500 hits so it looks notable. Therefore it should be kept. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 13:22, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

On new page patrol, it appeared to be. You can take it up with others, but I am renominating it for deletion, there are a gazillion golf courses in the country, nothing in the article indicates this one is in any way notable. A one- or two-sentence article does not apply notability. If there are reasons it's notable, move the article into your userspace, create a sandbox (see WP:USERFY) and improve it -- then move it back when some other eyes agree that it's ready for prime time.

The third oldest golf course in the US is considerably more worthy of an article than every single episode of Buffy the Vampire slayer for example. Besides it seems to be just you who thinks its not notable. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 09:25, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

I honestly could not care less either way. (and I agree with you when it comes to Buffy) All I know is that as a casual reader, a two sentence article is not encyclopedic. The cites to tourist explanations give only the most bare bones details? Who says it's the 3rd oldest course? Has it gotten any kind of formal recognition of this, or is it merely a local legend? Improve it and show that it is notable for more than being old and having no water hazards. Answer this question: Is there some reason anyone should care other than the locals who hope to draw more tourists to their town? From your sources, sounds like it has a really good view, that's something. Not a lot, but something. Is anyone famous a member there?? Or is it famous for having a unique, special nature? (Maybe the land being donated by someone famous?) Montanabw^(talk) 18:47, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

One of the links is to the New York state department of parks - which looks to be a reliable source to me. And I only saw it through the new page patrol as well. It just looked notable enough for a Wiki article <shrug>. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 00:19, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

I think the best thing to do is let the people who care the most over at AfD look at it, I did the same thing with Jasper Mall and apparently stumbled into a hornets' nest on THAT topic? (Apparently there is a square footage criteria that considers if a mall is notable...who knoew/?) Montanabw^(talk) 18:52, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 19:27, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Banners

Can the banners at the top of the page be justified please? Especially in light of multiple sources. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 09:56, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Absolutely. The "article" is two sentences long and says very little. The tags, therefore, raise legitimate problems with the article and alert those who work in this area that there is an article that needs help. A two-sentence article barely makes it over the speedy deletion threshold. The tags are a request to fix the problems. As an example of a GOOD article about a golf course might be Augusta National Golf Club. Obviously, this article doesn't have to be that extensive, but tell everyone why THIS course is more important than, say, a 9-holer somewhere in East Nowhere. I just spotted this page while doing new page patrolling, and I actually don't have that much interest in the topic, so while I home you take the advice I'm offering, I'm also going to take this article off my watchlist because at this point, I'd really rather this be someone else's problem, not mine.

More sources

From the AfD page. [1] and [2] can be used if they can be worked into the article. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 22:33, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Capitalizing Golf Course is totally appropriate; just look at the various titles of other golf courses on here. The official name of something should be capitalized, especially if it is capitalized on the website given on the page: [3]. Tinton5 (talk) 01:37, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
