article doesn't establish notability (WP:N) KurtsWorld96 (talk) 23:39, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/nature-reserves-places-visit-cambridge-16163304, by a Reach PLC WWW site, which to be honest looks to me like filler on a slow news day when the local tourist board is complaining. I haven't found much else, outwith government WWW sites of course. The search engines match on a local wildlife magazine that I cannot access, if anyone with better access wants to check that out.

Keep its a local nature reserve which is a statutory designation. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:24, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Crouch, Swale I don't think a statutory designation as a local nature reserve gives presumed notability — a national designation might. What notability guideline are you basing your comment on? Rupples (talk) 00:57, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Rupples: WP:GEOFEAT says "of any other protected status on a national level and for which verifiable information beyond simple statistics is available, are presumed to be notable". Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:28, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't think this reserve's status as a local reserve is sufficient to guarantee notability. I'm not sure that it has any special protection beyond the fact the council decided that this bit of former farmland and allotment-space was better managed as a nature-friendly area. It hasn't got much history, and not much has been written about it. It just isn't in the same league as national reserves such as Wicken fen or Monks Wood, or even other local settings such as Paradise Local Nature Reserve, a location that has a long history and has been written about. In many ways, Bramblefields is served adequately by its entry in List of local nature reserves in Cambridgeshire. But I wouldn't have gone to the trouble of deleting it. Before I found the list, my feeling was that the minor reserves of Cambridge would better be served by amalgamation into one narrative article about the lot, but this one is caught between a world of individual mini-stubs and a table that makes it very hard to expand on an individual reserve if information appears. If it does get deleted, I would not have any objection to it being re-created if someone finds useful things to say about it. Given its Cambridge location, it's quite likely it'll attract some local historian at some point in the future. If we do delete it, I'm worried someone will spot a red-link in the list article and remove it from there, which I think would be unhelpful to our readers.

Redirect to the List of local nature reserves in Cambridgeshire. It's reasonably covered there, and there's not a lot else to say about it. Should someone study and write the place up a bit better, then editors can easily restore, expand, and cite the article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:17, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the List of local nature reserves in Cambridgeshire. Agree a redirect is the answer here as there's insufficient coverage to pass the GNG and I don't think it has presumed notability. Didn't want to delete so grateful to Elemimele for coming up with a suitable redirect target, and I echo the points made. Rupples (talk) 17:43, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
