Maidashi ryokuchi
Unremarkable and non-notable neighbourhood park, which is one of roughly 400 in the city of Fukuoka alone. A Google search in Japanese turns up 99 hits, of which roughly a third are Wiki-related or similar mirrors. If I had thought the article had even a glimmer of notability, I would have cleaned it up and sourced it myself, but no amount of intricate detailed about park benches and street lamps can make up for the total lack of notability - as described in
- Exhibit A: A view of the park on Google Maps - gives a pretty good indication of how "significant" this park is in comparison with the many other parks in the local area. --DAJF (talk) 10:10, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
note:The map is inappropriate, because it indicate only a part of the ryokuchi (park).--Hot cake syrup (talk) 10:21, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete; does not appear to be notable. Listing every green space is hardly encyclopædic. bobrayner (talk) 08:04, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Week keep If this green strip on Google Maps is the park, I find it kind of interesting. I can't judge if the coverage is significant, though. talk) 17:20, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, its the green strip visible in that aerial view. Unfortunately, just being "kind of interesting" is not really a valid reason for justifying an article (see WP:INTERESTING), and the coverage available (including the sources provided in this article) consist of passing mentions in lists of parks in Fukuoka city and a personal web page that also mentions in passing how the strip of greenery known as Maidashi Ryokuchi happened to be the site of a former railway line. That's it, and I have searched the web for more, as I too would have liked to keep an article about a Japanese park on Wikipedia if I felt it had any merits. --DAJF (talk) 01:36, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I feel in sense of embarrassment for this proportion of for deletion/Maidashi ryokuchi. Because in 30 August 2011 DAJF labeled for deletion [1], and a week after, the label was peeled away [2] by Athaenara. Since most of commentator agree for Keep and discussion of community arrived at a conclusion. Despite that in 9 September this item was reclaimed by DAJF again. What's this all about? --Hot cake syrup (talk) 07:35, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Not sure what's different, but I get ~4000 hits for "馬出緑地" and 1880 for the full name "第8号馬出緑地". It's a fairly unusual example of a rail trail in Japan, and it already survived an AFD on ja-wp: [3]. I generally lean on the deletionist side, but in this case all I can ask is: would it genuinely improve Wikipedia to nuke this bit of local history?

- Keep. In the Google 546,000 was hits for 馬出緑地 at 13 September [4], Maidashi ryokuchi is thought too little about.--Hot cake syrup (talk) 09:02, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I see, but by this exact wording or phrase 「馬出緑地」 hits 8,550 (in Japanese Google)[5], this number is large, isn't it?--Hot cake syrup (talk) 09:52, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. This artical needs references yes, but it is not too short an artical, maybe it could be expanded upon. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 17:39, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
