@Braveheart:. In regards to your reversion of my Page Curation flags - Whilst I am happy to assume good faith the issue was that the page has no references cited at all, not that it is not linked anywhere. These are two different issues. Wikidata links do not count as references because Wikipedia is not a reliable source and the content of the linked pages does not count towards the content of this List - equally for the pages which are redlinked and do not link to anywhere else, these are unsubstantiated claims on the page. Whilst I am tempted to re-flag with this issue, I will instead add in a 'citation needed' flags on the lead section to show that there is very definitely a claim here that needs a reliable source.

@Zakhx150: So just to be clear - what is in contention here? Are you seriously doubting that these parks exist? Is the BC parks page two clicks too far away to confirm the information shown here? I'm a bit perplexed at this level of bureaucracy directed at a simple list. Braveheart (talk) 12:32, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Braveheart: That the things actually existing does not absolve them of the benefits of references for unsubstantiated claims. Let's clarify: My specific issue at this point can be resolved with one or more in line citations in the lead section. The 2nd and 3rd sentences are unreferenced at this point and would benefit from a reliable secondary source. Zakhx150 (talk) 16:29, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think we have bigger problems than "unsubstantiated claims" that are verifiable with two clicks. Maybe someone else is interested in solving your problems with this list. Braveheart (talk) 17:10, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
