 * Keep. Notable people are buried there. -- Eastmain (talk) 00:56, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Unless they are highly notable people or there are several notable people buried there, I still don't see why that makes the cemetery itself notable. Shouldn't that just be integrated into the article on the people that are buried there? Jrtayloriv (talk) 00:59, 2 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete It's just a stub right now. Unless someone decides to add, say, another 2 paragraphs concerning its importance, it's a delete from me.--fetchcomms 04:05, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence it satisfies notability, which is not inherited from someone of marginal notability buried there, in any event. Wikipedia is not a directory. Edison (talk) 04:10, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per other delete recommendations above. The people listed as buried there are nowhere near notable enough to warrant inclusion of the cemetery in Wikipedia based on their burial there. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:00, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. I think that cemeteries are usually notable, but some of the coverage of them is hard to find, particularly if they were first established a long time ago. It may be possible to find a newspaper article on the city's decision to run a cemetery and another on how it was designed, perhaps in a magazine for landscape architects. As for the notable people buried there, a legislator and a professional baseball player make a good start, and their notability is unambiguous rather than marginal. -- Eastmain (talk) 14:50, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The two men have enough notability to be included in Wikipedia as a courtesy by their inclusion in a class generally regarded as important enough for articles: A baseball player who only played in 74 major league games in 3 seasons, and a state legislator whose bio runs to 3 sentences. Their being buried there counts for little so far as the notability of the cemetery is concerned. Edison (talk) 19:41, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this this cemetary. Joe Chill (talk) 00:06, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
