• Comment Afd should be listed in the Agriculture deletion discussions.-- DThomsen8 ( talk) 12:13, 5 February 2016 (UTC) reply
• Delete as pure self promotion by use of a term that has not gained currency, acquired meaning, or spurred emulation. Note, however, that a handful of promoters have called their projects "agricultural theme parks" one in California [1] in 1998; another in Costa Rica [2], one being promoted in Korea now [3]. Note also that Farm museums exist, as do U-Pick and Pick-Your-Own (PYO) Farms, many with playgrounds and picnic tables, but they are not this (nor is Knott's Berry Farm.) In sum, Agricultural theme parks may catch on, just, it hasn't yet. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 17:23, 11 February 2016 (UTC) reply

• Comment Afd should be listed in the Agriculture deletion discussions. Should not be deleted without posting there.-- DThomsen8 ( talk) 20:26, 16 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • @ Dthomsen8: If you're talking about deletion sorting, I'm not aware of any Agriculture category (see list here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Flat). If you know better, I'd encourage you to list it yourself. On the other hand, if you're talking about article alerts, that's done automatically based on WikiProject banners (and assuming the WikiProject has signed up for article alerts). So that's already visible here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Agriculture/Article alerts. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 21:10, 16 February 2016 (UTC) reply

• Keep The claim of the nomination is false. For example, in Japan Tourism, "One company called Farm Group has specialized in agricultural theme-park projects and has completed fifteen such parks nationwide since 1986". In New Zealand, "Agrodome This popular agricultural theme park features live sheep shows where you can watch sheep shearing demonstrations, sheep auctions and sheep dog trials." Andrew D.

• Weak Delete, even though I've visited the "Agrodome" theme park that Andrew D. mentions above, and it is reasonably describable as an "agricultural theme park" (I'm great at parties, by the way), I'm not sure that we can see that the term has caught on enough not to run afoul of WP:NEO. If Andrew D. could actually provide links to the sources he's talking about, that might be helpful. Lankiveil ^{( speak to me)} 11:59, 27 February 2016 (UTC). reply
