:({{Find sources AFD|title=City Parks Foundation}})

Delete due to its reliance on a single source, which does not sufficiently establish the organization's notability as required by Wikipedia's guidelines. The article lacks independent, reliable sources that provide significant coverage of the foundation's impact and activities OatPancake (talk) 13:54, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

• Comment: {{u|OatPancake}}, obviously the current article sourcing is minimal, but what is your evaluation of the various book, magazine and congressional hearing sources visible from the Google Books link above? AllyD (talk) 08:31, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

:

• Keep: I’ve added sourcing from the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation, Reuters, and New York Times (x3), all WP:RS. They cover the Foundation and its flagship SummerStage program. While the NYT articles are partially behind a paywall, they meet WP:NEXIST. Even with unsourced content removed, it passes WP:GNG. HerBauhaus (talk) 11:49, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:HEY. Bearian (talk) 14:52, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

• Comment: Since my original !vote, I’ve done a bit of added house cleaning on the article. It now cites 8 – 9 independent WP:RS, including The New York Times (×5), Reuters, ABC News, and the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation. I’ve removed unsourced and promotional material, copyedited the lead, and beefed up the history section. It’s no longer a stub relying on the organization’s website.

• Keep per the sources added. This nomination came with zero WP:BEFORE effort. MarioGom (talk) 19:56, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
