I don't see that there are enough sources to show that this footpath/bridleway meets the inclusion criteria on en.wiki. Incidentally the majority of the page covers other topics which already have pages so it doesn't seem like anything much would be lost if deleted. JMWt (talk) 11:22, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The page gets an average of 13 views per day. So it is proving to be useful to people and it would be disappointing to deny such people access to an interesting article. Douglal (talk) 12:54, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect to Vale of Edale, where it is already mentioned. I found plenty of sources mentioning Jacob's Ladder, including both guidebooks like [1] and historical texts like [2], but none that covered the subject directly or in detail beyond stating that the path was apparently built by one Jacob Marshall in the 18th century. I believe it's best covered in a more general article about the area. Vale of Edale seems like the best fit, but other possibilities are High Peak Estate (the land management area to which it belongs) or Kinder Scout (which has a "Landmarks" section where it could fit, although I believe Jacob's ladder is properly speaking a path to Kinder Scout rather than in it).

Merge and Redirect to the "Landmarks" section of Kinder Scout, as mooted above. Jacob's Ladder is fairly well known as the first significant climb on the Pennine Way and one of the most popular routes onto Kinder (and the bridge at the bottom is a listed building), but even as a local I'd consider it a minor geographical feature and probably not notable.
