 * Keep. Unless there's some reason to suspect it's a hoax, the mere absence of sources isn't a good enough reason to delete an entire useful page; and this, a long list of orchids categorized by location, seems a worthwhile contribution. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:12, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. I think the nominator may misunderstand what is meant by "original research". Are we really expected to believe that this topic has not been subjected to published research? Or that the article creator personally found all of these species in their various habitats? It only takes a few seconds to find plenty of books covering the subject, including this and this. If there are any inaccuracies in the article then they can be fixed by editing rather than deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:03, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
