A spinout of the Parkrun page, this list doesn't meet any part of WP:NLIST or WP:N. Seems like a fairly clear violation of WP:NOTDIR. Hobit (talk) 17:39, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - WP:NOTDIR is a Wikipedia policy. Parkrun itself is notable but there is simply no need for an exhaustive list of every single event. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:19, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per list of Parkruns in Australia. Clearly WP:NOTDIR. The very exceptional few notable ones can probably be mentioned on the parent article. Ajf773 (talk) 18:39, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is the sort of thing that readers would be better directed to the official source like https://www.parkrun.org.uk/events/events/#geo=4.03/55.05/-2.95 rather than Wikipedia attempting to maintain its own duplicate directory of non-notable small, local events like this.

Delete Every link to a "parkrun" is actually just a link to a park or other location. Dream Focus 21:10, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. On top of NOTDIR and NLIST add other WP:NOTs. Wikipedia is not a free web host for an organisations event listings. Is not a mirror of primary content. Is not a link farm. Is not a means of promotion. WP:PRIMARY, Do not base an entire article on primary sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:09, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Reywas92. Clear NOTDIR violation, and advertising concerns also. Stifle (talk) 08:56, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete clear WP:NOTDIRECTORY violation. Can't believe this and the US equivalent survived AFDs in 2017, since no evidence has ever been given that these lists meet WP:GNG or WP:NLIST, and they clear violate WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:57, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
