Ledgewood Estate

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The estate is not notable, notability claims are indirect, it is near notable houses, but not on any notable lists, it is in the style of Richard Morris Hunt or inspired by Frederick Law Olmsted, but no involvement by either. It has no reliable references, the article had external links, general references, and see also sections that referred to a nearby, not associated property, none of them applied to the subject of this article.

 * I'm going to have to do more research on this. The article twice claims it was built in 1796 and then twice says it's a Gilded Age house, which of course was a century later.  Which is it?  Something else to consider; the article was created and mostly written by User:L4Harrington.  A Hyde Park, New York area real estate agent by the name of Margaret Harrington has an online listing for this very property.  I'd still be okay with keeping this if this is truly a historic house with ample independent coverage, but this spa WP:COI situation isn't helping its case. --Oakshade (talk) 19:10, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete This seems to be a real estate agent's promotional sales listing masquerading as an encyclopedia article. According to Huyler's, John S. Huyler, the fellow who paid for the mansion to be built, was born in 1846 so the mansion could not have been built in 1796. That could be a typo and it was actually 1896, but who knows for sure? But I can find no evidence that either the home or the property is notable. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  05:20, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Started by SPA, this unsourced article really does seem to be a clever advertisement by a realtor. My searches on keywords that ought to work if it was real (as in: a genuinely notable house or property): Ledgewood + Huyler + "Hyde Park"   A commercial misappropriation of Wikipedia.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:30, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
