redlinks
You have no valid reason for removing the redlink to Mount Hermon Cemetery. A Google search shows it is notable. Please perform some due diligence first before deletion. See here for an excellent page on the cemetery. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 00:46, 13 October 2012 (UTC)


 * A page with that name has been deleted previously. Kraxler (talk) 12:19, 13 October 2012 (UTC)


 * So? It was deleted on content not notability. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 17:44, 13 October 2012 (UTC)


 * It doesn't matter why. It was deleted. Let it go, Mr. Norton. Kraxler (talk) 22:38, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Red links aren't evil. In general, red links that point to subjects that could become encyclopedic articles should be left as is. In this case, a quick Google finds a few possible references to assert notability for this location, i.e.: Since this cemetery has been designated as a national historic landmark site in Canada, as noted on multiple independent sources, in my view this article definitely should exist. Perhaps editors working with WikiProject Canada could help further with additional references on this nationally registered landmark. Slambo (Speak) 12:56, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

 * I'm well aware of the guideline about red links. The problem here in 2012 was that Mr. Norton redlinked every other word in any article, the link in question leads to an already deleted article, and that Mr. Norton then pointed to an unreadable weblink (a restricted google book without visualisation of the text). Thank you for your research which establishes notability. Under the circumstances, I'm sure that the deletion of the existing article in 2007 was wrong under the AfD guidelines. Even an nearly empty stub of a National Historic Site should have been kept. Kraxler (talk) 13:30, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
