Highstead Arboretum
non notable stub. --Jonathan Christensen 17:51, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, judging by google, it's the #1 arboretum in Redding, Connecticut. And judging by the article, it's the only interesting thing in the area... Kappa 18:36, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I know several people whose gardens are more notable. And Kappa, how many other arboretums are there in Redding, Connecticut? --Halidecyphon 18:56, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Not sure, is that relevant? Kappa 19:04, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I guess I just meant that it's not particularily notable for something to be "the #1" when there's only one... --Halidecyphon 19:14, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I think uniqueness is also a good test of notability. Incidentally, it appears to be the #3 arboretum in Connecticut after Connecticut College Connecticut College Arboretum and the Bartlett Arboretum, followed closely by the Dinosaur State Park arboretum. Kappa 20:01, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * The third best arboretum in Conneticut? I will refrain from sarcastic comment... I guess once someone writes articles on the first two, i'll consider changing my vote. Halidecyphon 20:41, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually I found that Connecticut College Arboretum is already there. Kappa 20:58, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Possibly just above the bar for notability. Might be more encouraged by some expansion. (Trust me, I'm the number one 'Shane' in Villa Park).
 * Keep They seem to do some publishing as well. Rx StrangeLove 21:14, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meelar (talk) 01:22, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep.DS 01:33, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Third best arboretum in Conneticut makes it notable in my book. Dave the Red (talk) 05:22, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Redding, Connecticut and delete - Skysmith 07:26, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Why would you want to delete and not redirect? Kappa 10:21, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's notable enough that it may be useful for some.CatCrofts 05:12, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
