Notability

[edit]

Strawberry Park appears to be only a small housing development, and a local newspaper's website appears to contain only one mention of it[1] with almost no information about it. It isn't verifiable that the place is referred to as a hamlet, and it's probably not notable. Peter James (talk) 17:11, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked for it on various online OS maps, and could not find a settlement by this name. There's only a short street by that name near Backford Cross. No Strawberry Field(s) in that area, either. Perhaps this article should be deleted? --Schlosser67 (talk) 19:54, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This article has been tagged since 2012 and has barely expanded since it's creation in the same year. I agree that the notability of the article (as it currently stands) is questionable. I've found on the OS 6-inch map (1888-1913) Strawberry Farm and Strawberry (not sure what that map label could be referring to, maybe a house?). These days the area is essentially a 1980s/90s residential development, with the 'Strawberry Roundabout' and a 'Strawberry Service Station' run by BP (Google) It's sandwiched between the Ellesmere Port suburbs of Backford Cross: a road junction and also previously a farm and now a housing development - and Whitby: which is much larger, and strangely doesn't yet have its own Wikipedia article. The only other mention I've found is as a Cheshire West and Chester council ward since 2011. Perhaps the article could be modified to Strawberry (ward) if it is to be retained? → Snowy 1973 (talk) 10:15, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
