 * Strong delete per nom. - Kookykman| (t) e 19:56, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - One of a series of articles deliberately created as part of WikiProject New Jersey, an organized effort to fill in the holes and expand details of all things New Jersey-related. Subsidiary articles have already been created for notable cemeteries, and more are being created, as listed in Category:Cemeteries in New Jersey. Alansohn 02:15, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly, in the category. There is nothing wrong with categories, but these lists have no encyclopedic value (I am not saying they have no value, but this is an encyclopedia). Indrian 03:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete per nom. There may be a project but it is still just a list. An article for a notable cemetery might be fine but it doesn't mean that this list is needed. BlueValour 02:09, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep These lists are very useful to geneologists and historians of the Revolutionary War. I don't see a problem keeping them. Crockspot 02:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment surely they will be long dead by now? :-) Seriously, I don't think you have any basis for this - they will know where the cemeteries are already - do you know anyone who has had to rely on the WP list? BlueValour 03:09, 16 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. The proper place for this is the Ocean County Yellow Pages, under "Bingo Parlors". Whoops! I meant "Cemeteries! --Calton | Talk 08:03, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom and Calton. - Motor (talk) 10:24, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. Wikiprojects shouldn't be compiling idiotic lists like this. -- GWO
 * Keep. Nothing "idiotic" about lists with regional, historical or genealogical significance. --JJay 12:38, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete List of cemeteries is rather unencyclopedic unless it is a list of some special cemeteries --16:30, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
