[edit] Deering Oaks

A sub-stub about a park. No indication of notability. No reson to think this will get expanded to a decent article, particualrly given the creator's history. Delete. DES ^(talk)

• Delete, nothing to set it apart from thousands of US parks. Gazpacho 20:41, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and probably put mention in Portland, Maine article. — Stevey7788 (talk) 20:47, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. non-notable -Soltak 21:48, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete. If it was expanded or had something notable, maybe weak keep. But as it stands purge it. Megapixie 04:59, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Site of French & Indian War battle; verifiable and notable. Has been expanded--BaronLarf 01:07, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Changed my vote following changes by Baron. Now it's notable. Megapixie 02:48, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Abstain This is still a bit marginal, IMO, but I would never have placed it on VfD in the rewritten form. VfD strikes again as {{Quick-expand}} :) This still might be better if merged into the Portland, Maine article.DES ^(talk) 15:48, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

• Weak keep borderline notability.  Grue  19:43, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep Vote changed following additions; being a battle site does confer enhanced notability. (Soltak; originally unsigned)
• Keep Notable enough if not merge into Portland, Maine. --Maoririder 17:40, 3 August 2005 (UTC) (message left on talk page[1] --BaronLarf 21:37, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Note that the battle was part of King William's War, not the French and Indian War. Dsmdgold 14:14, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
