The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete and merged into the Portage, Indiana article. The consensus is that the article was not notable and not deserving its own entry. The parent article has a subsection on Parks, and so the information has been moved there. Keegan^talk 06:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - Probably aesthetically pleasing and scenic, but unfortunately there isn't a shred of notability - [1] and [2]. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 05:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comment Aren't bodies of water inherently notable? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 05:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. very good article and well written. Dwilso 06:17, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete As it stands its closer to the legendary List of Puddles than to notable bodies of water. Compare any one of thousands of Florida streetside overflow canals or Woop County slurry pits/quarries/sloughs. And with respect to Edwardian Script above it isn't very well written but that's incidental.Plutonium27 (talk) 12:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep A web search turned up a number of links including DNR reports and fishing reports. Seems notable if just barely. Hobit (talk) 00:23, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, this is either a hoax or a mistake--check the coordinates. Both sets lead to nowhere near Portage. Even if it were a real pond, it not notable. Blast Ulna (talk) 17:54, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
• Comment, it's a real pond [<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Robbins+Pond,+Portage,+Indiana&sll=-19.642588,-19.6875&sspn=125.908866,236.953125&ie=UTF8&ll=41.588422,-87.14716&spn=0.007736,0.014462&t=h&z=14&iwloc=addr&output=embed&s=AARTsJo2Apt8P-CY_78g0ONZl4zasq0kiw"></iframe>

The coordinates are for Decatur, Alabama though, about 600 miles away. So fix the coordinates if this is kept. No opinion as far as deletion/inclusion goes. Needs better indications of notability in reliable sources. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:57, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - trivial coverage. PhilKnight (talk) 23:26, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge with Portage, Indiana possibly? If not keep it and ask for notable references. ChessCreator (talk) 02:39, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
