PROD declined for reasons I can't possibly fathom. This is a dumpsite of no particular notability, therefore the article should be deleted. There is no reason to maintain it under WP:GEO. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 04:15, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

- Comment I removed the PROD because the original concern (that it incorrectly labeled the subject as a village) was addressed. I did not check for notability. Maybe sources exist in the local languages? – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 15:25, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
- Comment the stub as it stands isn't good, but a search did come up with a few sources in three different languages. I'm not saying it's notable or not notable - would this be infrastructure under WP:GEOFEAT? There's a chance it's notable and could be expanded. SportingFlyer talk 18:26, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
- SportingFlyer, do you mind linking to some of those sources to allow everyone to evaluate them? ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 19:58, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- Keep, or at worst merge to Aruba. There is some decent coverage in sources [10] [11] which would allow some expansion. Spinning Spark 23:23, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
- Spinningspark, I'd support a merge, but I don't think there's enough substantial coverage (on what you've posted anyway) to support a keep. That book result you posted is a single paragraph in a tour guide type book, it's not that substantive. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 19:58, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- Comment. This page originally described Parkietenbos as a village. There is some evidence in sources that this is a populated place as several businesses give it as their address: Rodoco Shipping and Trading SA [12], Aruba All Cargo Co., Demo Aruba MV, Ecury Motors, Ltd. This book description of the dump says the dump is "located in Parkietenbos", not that the dump is called Parkietenbos. As a populated place this should be kept per WP:GEOLAND. At the very least we can say that there is more going on there than just a dump. Also Historia di Aruba: 1499-1824 mentions Parkietenbos but I can't make any sense of the google machine translation of "Nan a establece nan mes na diferente lugar, entre otro na Daimari, Santa Marta, Buena Vista y Parkietenbos principalmente. Asina e teranan cerca yama "cunuco" a bin den existencia. Cada colonizador a desaroya nan pida tereno..." At least we can say from that that the place existed historically.
