Moreton Bay Fig Tree (Santa Barbara, California)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

may well be the biggest in the United States but a miserable little and young specimen by Australian standards; no real reference and the source of the little sapling is debatable, at least Crusoe8181 (talk) 10:42, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. It is designated on a historic register, and is documented and notable, though the specifics of the register could/should be added to the article.  It's kinda funny to see an American tree disparaged and nommed for deletion out of Aussie pride, but nonsense and seems a bit wp:POINTY, too. -- do  ncr  am  11:35, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. notable historic landmark. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:38, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, a mere sapling compared to those we have here in Moreton Bay, but being a designated historical landmark is good enough for me. Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:23, 11 March 2014 (UTC).
 * Keep. Whatever its comparative size, it's an landmark and is written about often, see e.g.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 14:45, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, it is a designated historic landmark and a notable site in Santa Barbara. Sources indicating notability have already been mentioned above. Bahooka (talk) 15:05, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - The size of a tree is not a factor in notability. What matters is the amount of coverage in reliable sources, and the amount is significant per the sources found by Arxiloxos. Recommend a WP:SNOW close as there is really no valid reason for deletion in the nomination. Mz7 (talk) 22:31, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
