[edit] Hodges Gardens State Park
No indication of notability, and seems to be promotional SamBC(talk) 22:48, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Fairly large (4700 acre) state run recreational park. Yeah, it's clearly not a hub of excitement, but it seems notable enough. - Richfife 22:54, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep All state parks are self-evidently notable. RegRCN 12:38, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Never even thought of this as promotional. The state of Louisiana took over this former private park in April 2007. This short article simply tells about the park and has a paragraph on its history. This article is intended to replace the earlier Hodges Gardens, Park and Wilderness Area, which was written before the state took over the park. Billy Hathorn 15:10, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not opposing a keep now (nor advocating it), but I should point out that, in that case, the older article should perhaps have been moved? SamBC(talk) 16:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- Aaahhh... I'll try to merge it when I have more than 60 seconds available in a row. - Richfife 17:06, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

- Keep State parks are notable, particularly this rather large one. --Oakshade 22:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - as mentioned above, state parks are notable. I don't see anything promotional about this article, either. It isn't a commercial enterprise, so any promotional material isn't going to someone's profit. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 13:27, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
