No evidence of notability. It has one claim to fame in that it had a giant water wheel that failed two months after installation killing three children and injuring six see here but even that is no a sufficient claim to fame for the park and strangely not mentioned in the article. Searches reveal page after page of social media, hotel booking sites, trip advisor etc but nothing to indicate notability. Fails WP:GNG Velella Velella Talk 15:08, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep per
WP:NEXIST and
WP:ITSACASTLE. The park has had some major issues in the past, discussed here:
- Charting the Water Regulatory Future: Issues, Challenges and Directions, page 190: "An example of water and sewage distribution mismanagement can be viewed in the case of the Sozo Water Park in Lahore... [which has] given rise to serious public health concerns."
- Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Fracture Fatigue and Wear, page 371: "The failure of the 'Giant Wheel' occurred at Sozo Water Park Lahore... resulting in the death of three children and injuring six."
- There is surely news coverage of these events, in addition to the two sources I just cited, and they're two different issues, so it's not a 1-event problem. And then there's WP:ITSACASTLE, which says that public attractions like a theme park, a beach, a monument or an art gallery generally get wide coverage in guidebooks and other sources, and for the most part, articles about public attractions get kept. — Toughpigs ( talk) 19:47, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep - Sufficient coverage to meet the general notability guideline per sources in article and as identified by Toughpigs. Maybe it scrapes through, but it's through none the less... -- Jack Frost ( talk) 02:18, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
