List of U.S. counties named after plants

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Since the List of U.S. counties named after animals was just Afd'd out of existence, this one should be too. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:34, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Interesting, but really a trivial list. The names of counties, and the names of plant species, are not trivial. Putting them together like this is.  You could make up this kind of list about almost anything. For instance, Songs named after body parts: "Piece of my heart", "I only have eyes for you", etc. Kitfoxxe (talk) 20:43, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete How about "Foot Loose" or "I like Big Butts" Legacypac (talk) 21:56, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Be careful. I might decide to start the article. :-) -Kitfoxxe (talk) 00:53, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep - no policy reasons given for deletion. VMS Mosaic (talk) 03:41, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Exactly the same as Articles for deletion/List of U.S. counties named after animals. What's the difference between plants and animals as far as notability is concerned? Has there been a policy change within the last day that would lead to a different outcome? Clarityfiend (talk) 06:27, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Uh, one AfD has less than zero effect on another unless they are grouped together or the AfD created a Wikipedia wide policy consensus (something which rarely happens and hasn't happened here). It's always possible the other AfD was in error. Please state policy, please. VMS Mosaic (talk) 12:27, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I think what is saying is "ditto the various arguments presented at Articles for deletion/List of U.S. counties named after animals". I.e. various WP:NOT/WP:N issues rather than taking the result of that AfD to have implications for this. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites  talk  \\ 13:57, 8 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - Not a notable list topic. In other words, while there are sources showing that specific counties have been named after plants, I haven't found any at all that address the phenomenon of naming counties after plants (which is more or less the reason the animals-related list was deleted while e.g. List of U.S. counties named after U.S. Presidents was kept. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 13:57, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per Rhododendronites; it's not particularly different from the animals list or "List of U.S. counties sharing names with their county seats". It's a valid list in the sense that it has clear inclusion criteria, that it's neutral, etc., but in the absence of sources that discuss horticultural county naming or otherwise touch on this subject, we need to view it as trivia.
