Trimble Township Community Forest

The current name of the article is Trimble Community Forest.  I thought that there was consensus at AfD to rename this article.  I note that the map at the top of the article is unsourced and is therefore not reliable as a source for the name of the forest being "Trimble Community Forest".  Unscintillating (talk) 03:20, 23 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Though I still think the subject fails WP:N, I agree with Unscintillating. The article should be moved. I also think the map is unsourced OR and should be removed. Novaseminary (talk) 03:48, 23 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
I think the move is not controversial.  Unscintillating (talk) 10:14, 23 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

the unsourced map

Here is a related case.  I've seen that images don't quite have the same policies, but I agree this map should be removed.  Unscintillating (talk) 10:14, 23 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

fails WP:N?

I think you misunderstand Wikipedia norms and practices as shown by ten thousand geography articles.  You could have tried to make the case that this area is a geopolitical area only recognized by Ohio, and that that might make for an exception, but that is not the approach you took at AfD.  Did you look at Barber IslandUnscintillating (talk) 10:14, 23 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I did take a look. Without sources it is tough to know, but I assume that island is notable. This, however, is nothing more than a geopolitical area (so far as one can ascertain from the scarce sources). I find it difficult to believe there is inherent notability for every nature preserve created by whomever, anywhere, whether it receives sufficient coverage or not. This is not the same as an island. There needs to be some verifiable level at which a preserve or park meets N. Yellowstone NP, yes. My clearly demarcated, protected vegetable and flower garden (even with two park benches and a "nature trail"), no, until it is featured a few times in magazines, at least! Not every local park is notable. The only way to know which a given park or preserve is closer to is via sources. Novaseminary (talk) 13:38, 23 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
