 * Delete, because, 1. wha? and 2. WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. Sandstein 17:58, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete no context, and per Sandstein. Tychocat 21:33, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Right now it is a collection of information, but what, if anything, could the author/editors do to merit a "keep"? Would a short 2-3 paragraph introduction do the job? Something about: 1) characteristics peculiar to to high plains cemeteries or 2) references to some books or articles on the history of cemeteries in South Dakota? Or would the answer be to convert this from an article into something like "Category: Cemeteries of South Dakota"? Inter lingua  talk 03:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The paragraphs you suggest should be added to the Union County article not as a reason for keeping the list - c.f. Budapest - cemeteries. BlueValour 04:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. nice start to the list- would be nice if we had more articles on the cemeteries. --JJay 00:09, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Where a list is useful is when substantial extra information is added; that is not the case here. I note that the author has already created a suitable category making this list redundant. For the list to be kept there needs to be a substantive reason but, as yet, none has been put forward. TerriersFan 00:32, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
