Delete Nothing even close to notability, and the sources are not even remotely close to showing he is notable. I have my doubts the park is notable, but donating land to create a park does not make one notable. Yes, in my own city of Detroit we have
Palmer Park (Detroit) which comes in at 296 acres, and
Thomas W. Palmer who donated the first 140 acres for the park has an article. However Palmer has an article firstly because he was a US Senator.

Lizzie Pitts Merrill Palmer who co-donated the land for Palmer Park with her husband, is more the level of the type of person who does in large part become notable for philanthropic donations. However her park donation was far larger than Woodruff's, and she donated to multiple others causes, set up institutions, and is included in a 1970s multi-volume biographical dictionary of American women. Even at that she seems to have been involved with the movement to extend the vote to women, although the article does not give us any clear indication of what positions she may have held in that movement.
