 * Oppose. This article about a Site of Special Scientific Interest in Leicestershire cites three sources, all publications by Natural England, which is a non-departmental public body of the UK government. They are official publications approved by Natural England, not primary or self-published sources. The article is one of hundreds with similar sourcing which have been summarised in Lists of Sites of Special Scientific Interest. Many are featured lists, including List of Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Leicestershire, and no reviewer has ever objected that the sources are unsatisfactory.

 * Oppose.  For the reasons given above. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 12:03, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. SSSI's are notable by the very nature of their designation on behalf of the government (under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 or the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949) which place specific duties on local authorities for their protection. Further references could be included (eg A history and natural history of an ancient Leicestershire woodland from the Wildlife Trust), but these are not really needed when the designation itself identifies a Protected area. There are many thousands of articles about Protected areas on wikipedia and each is clearly significant/notable.&mdash; Rod talk 12:15, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
