Change from redirect to article page

Bigmouth Sleeper, I see that the article has been changed from a redirect page to an article, but this appears to be duplicative of content in two other places - and also seems to be a copy of information.

What are you intending to do with this page? How would it distinguish itself from other pages?--CaroleHenson (talk) 17:12, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that it is described in detail on two separate articles is what prompted the creation of this stand alone article. It is notable as a federally named place that has a place in Florida's history and seems to be ecologically significant not just to the Everglades, but the Lake Okeechobee. There is enough content available to have this be a stand alone article; I just have not devoted any time to developing it. There are also several redlinks in this article that could be fleshed out to contribute to Wikipedia's description of the canals and infrastructure of the swampy parts of Florida.

CSD tag

Weak return the redirect to Everglades#Everglades Agricultural Area is my vote. There's also a section within Draining and development of the Everglades. Deleting the page is also an appropriate solution.--CaroleHenson (talk) 17:54, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... it describes an ecologically significant 1000 square mile area of Florida that is reserved by the federal government for environmental protection.[1] The EAA "profoundly" affects Lake Okeechobee and "fundamentally important to a sustainable Everglades ecosystem" [2] the 700,000 acre EAA is the size of Jacksonville, Florida.[3] --MPS (talk) 18:21, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are already two places where the topic is covered. There hasn't been an explanation how this will be different from the section the Everglades article. Do you know how this article would be different from that article and the Draining and development of the Everglades that also has a section?--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:35, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I just saw your response above. So, would those sections be summarized, then?--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:38, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

yes but would also want to take a look at the "what links here" and add content about (1) Miami Canal] (2)Friends of the Everglades (3)The Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition ‎ Peace, MPS (talk) 20:15, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks! I didn't apply the deletion tag, but that works for me.--CaroleHenson (talk) 21:08, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

Sorry, I got pulled in another direction today. Everglades restoration is barely represented on Wikipedia. The EAA should absolutely have its own page. --previously unsigned15:46, 1 December 2016‎ Bigmouth Sleeper (talk)
