Does anyone know if this was installed within the boundaries of Hermman Park? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:00, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

This article and another need to be untangled

This topic was written about a sculpture that sits within a plaza that is at Hermann Park in Houston. However, it is one of a set: There were 24 of these parks/plazas throughout the US and Canada. Each of the 24 had the same sculpture, although some are faring better than others (at least one was completely removed; the one in Houston only partially remains, etc.).

The (not very developed) topic about the set of parks is Cancer Survivors Park. The parks themselves were part of a much bigger cancer research and awareness program, which deserve a topic as well.

Ideally, an editor might:

1. On Cancer Survivors Park:
   1. Change the name to reflect that there are many parks: Cancer Survivors Parks, for example.
   2. Add the background and context for the parks. Some of these details can be pulled from the first paragraphs at Cancer, There Is Hope#The Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors Plaza at Hermann Park.
   3. Update each park on the list with current status, and add wikilinks to the ones that have their own wiki article, such as the one in Houston, in San Diego, and in Chicago.
2. On Cancer, There Is Hope:
   1. Change the article name to The Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors Plaza (Houston).
      1. Change the name of Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors Garden to Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors Garden (Chicago) and put a hatnote on the Houston and Chicago articles to point to the other.
   2. In the introductory section, mention and link back to Cancer Survivors Park.
   3. Update the wikilink at List of public art in Houston.
3. On Hermann Park#Attractions, update the wikilink with the new topic name (it displays as "Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors Plaza", but is pointed to this article with its current name)
4. Create a new article for Bloch Cancer Foundation.
   1. Pull some of the details from Richard Bloch#Cancer.
   2. Add details about the hotline, the parks, the survivors' day, the mission and reason, and the status (dissolved in 2017).
   3. Add wikilinks back to the other above articles.
