Merge to Sydney/Eastern suburbs
editI know I created this article, but this park is only 1.77 km2 (0.68 sq mi) and is no more than your ordinary municipal park. I could see the merit in keeping it given the fact that it's a popular whale watching spot and the fact that it has closures, but it's not a overly significant place like La Perouse or Kamay Botany Bay National Park and Sydney/Eastern suburbs isn't very long. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 22:39, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
- Go ahead and do what you think best. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:47, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- I'll do it in the next few days. tbh I was initially going to do it without discussion, but I wanted to get another opinion after Talk:Parque Florestal de Monsanto in which @Ground Zero opposed deleting it while I was neutral since this pretty much fails wv:wiaa, had the NSW government not slapped a "national park" in its name. But this is not a deletion, but a merge, so it is why I initiated a discussion, to merge. I can see the possibility that a traveller wanting to go looking for information about this park (instead they will have to spend some time looking for it), but barely anyone knows this park exists, even Sydneysiders and I had no idea this park even existed until my initial solo expedition to create NSW park articles.

- Well, I want to defer to your local knowledge, but this is not a short article. The Eastern Suburbs article is becoming fairly long. It does not look like this article could be merged in without either (a) making the ES article unwieldy, or (b) leaving out a bunch of the text from this article. If you think there is a lot of overlap, I guess it could work. Ground Zero (talk) 13:03, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Ground Zero As an alternate, this could be merged to Sydney/Maroubra, which is the closest suburb to this park. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 05:14, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- That's also a long article. Ground Zero (talk) 01:52, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
- Not that long though. Maroubra's see and do sections are rather short and this "national park" (it's really misleading though, and it's nowhere near your usual national park) is one of the most important this to see/do in Maroubra/Malabar outside beaches.

- I guess if you leave out the Get in section, and apply the Climate section to the destination article, there's not that much in this article. Merge as you see fit. Ground Zero (talk) 11:04, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
- Looking at New South Wales national parks, there are a few other "national parks" in a similar boat but they're not in the continent's metropolis. This is indeed no different to those, but it does get more visitors. I don't know whether the rifle range information is useful enough to not merge this though.

- @SHB2000 Maybe it's best to keep this article as a standalone. As you said before, there is a possibility that a traveller wanting to go looking for information about this park instead of reading the half of the region article. Veracious (talk) 10:45, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, I guess I'll remove the merge tag. GZ has a point. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 10:49, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
