[edit] Does this warrant an article?
- Does a state park really warrant an entire article; in particular one that's been created but has no content.
- I quote from What is an article? "Complex and remote state/provincial parks or monuments such as Mount Robson Provincial Park (formatted using the wikitravel:Park article template) ...but not state or city parks that primarily serve as recreational sites for day visitors." (my emphasis) Looking on wikipedia, the site is only 32 miles long, and the description implies more of a day trip location.
- I don't want to vfd just yet, so if anyone has any comments, drop them here and I'll vfd if consensus heads that way, or there is no response here.

- The article in its current state is about as worthless as it could get, but my hunch is that the park (just barely) meets the requirements of article status. It's big enough, has historical attractions in addition to trails, and you can sleep there. But I probably lean more towards keeping park articles than other contributors; feel free to vfd if you'd like other opinions. --Peter Talk 14:46, 11 February 2009 (EST)
