Tony’s Beach

I believe this was subject to vandalism a few weeks ago. Like you mentioned on your edit summary, I couldn’t find any sources about it. Though it does not matter much because the page is a redirect, could you explain the thought behind this edit? Powerplay44 (talk) 21:40, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! I was told that this was a notable beach in Long Beach Township, New Jersey, but I couldn’t find many sources about it. The only few that may have been relevant were physical and some were in Italian, and I don’t speak Italian. If I’m not mistaken, @76.117.162.190: mentioned this on the Deletion Discussion for the LBTBP. Perhaps the IP can provide some insight. AlleghenyPA (talk) 21:45, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Powerplay44: and @AlleghenyPA:, similar to you, I am not versed in the history and notability of Tony’s Beach. However, I’m sure @Drmies: can provide the insight you are looking for about this topic as he was involved in the initial matter regarding this beach. Sincerely, 76.117.162.190 (talk) 21:51, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If there are offline sources, do you think that the redirected page should be expanded on? How many sources are we talking about? Powerplay44 (talk) 22:02, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I found about 8-11 physical newspaper and book sources detailing the history of Tony’s Beach and I’m sure I could put something together as far as page expansion goes, but I think we should wait for @Drmies: to give us some more information before we proceed.

Based in your sources, what would a possible expansion on the article look like? Powerplay44 (talk) 22:11, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One book I have in front of me (written in 2016, so fairly recently) talks about history, culture, and nearby attractions, so the article could follow that. AlleghenyPA (talk) 22:14, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think an expansion would pass WP:GNG? 76.117.162.190 (talk) 22:17, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is definitely WP:SIGCOV in the form of offline sources, and according to WP:OFFLINE, they are just as valid as online sources. AlleghenyPA (talk) 22:19, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dudes--you're three people talking to each other! How do you keep it straight? Drmies (talk) 01:01, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies: Good Evening, and I’d like to admit that I am a so called “sockpuppet” of User:Tony Beach Enthusiast. However, this was with good intentions and only because I forgot the password to my original account and I recently changed E-mails, meaning I can’t reset my password. While there are newly found sources about Tony’s Beach (I am kind of a fanatic about LBI history), I realize that it is likely not notable enough for a standalone article. I saw that you blocked a few other accounts, however, and I would like to point out that, contrary to the log of Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Tony Beach Enthusiast, the other accounts, except obviously for User:Tonys Beach Enthusiast, are not sockpuppets as I am, and you should probably unblock them to avoid confusion. In addition to that, I explicitly promise to refrain from editing about Tony’s Beach and hope to be given the opportunity to make useful contributions to Wikipedia in the future. Thank you for understanding. AlleghenyPA (talk) 02:03, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
