Articles aren’t categories. Just an indiscriminate list of water parks, most of which aren’t even notable.

Delete, and categorize: right now this is synonymous with a category. If this was a list within an article, or if water parks had difficulty becoming legalized or something like that, it may be worth keeping at that point. But right now there is nothing notable about this list. --

There are enough entries for the United States of America to have its own separate article.

And the point of that separate, purely redundant article is what exactly, besides existing for the sake of being “interesting” and “improving Wikipedia”.

The information would be removed from here with a link to the other article obviously. I did not make a claim it was interesting. If something is valid for a category, then its valid for a list article. List articles are more useful than categories since they can contain additional information.

Of which this list has none.

Comment could somebody bundle-nominate all the similar “list of [tourist parks] by [region]” pages? They’re all seemingly identical and just as pointless, but I suck at multi-page nominations.

Keep I think this is a good example of where lists can be complimentary to categories. This is more useful than dozens of categories split by state or country.

You could make a list article for literally any category based on the logic that it’s
WP:USEFUL. I’m not sure liking the formatting better is a good argument to keep something.

Keep: Kalahari, Dollywood’s Splash Country and Water Country USA receive coverage on the following sites as a group of North American water parks:
[1],
[2] and
[3]. Hot Park, Thermas dos Laranjais and Beach Park receive coverage on the following sites as a group of South American water parks:
[4],
[5] and
[6]. Per
WP: NLIST, discussion of any group or set within a list by reliable sources is appropriate for a stand-alone list. This passes WP:NLIST.
