Notability

[edit]

@Epicgenius:, can you please provide the sources which you know to exist which indicate notability for this topic? Note that a historical consensus to keep is not a consensus that it meets our notability guidelines, a page can be kept and that tag can still be valid.

While it may be true that some articles were kept at AFD despite possibly not meeting notability guidelines, that is not true of this topic. The coaster was described in a feature-length article in the Allentown Morning Call, in a not-insubstantial article for the Camden, NJ, Courier-Post, and in an article in the York Daily Record. The coaster's closure was covered in The Patriot-News, which, while a local newspaper, nonetheless has a weekly circulation of half a million. – Epicgenius (talk) 18:51, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
