WP:NN commercial attraction. Virtual orphan. Toddst1 (talk) 20:59, 30 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Please keep - this article is still quite terse, but the garden forms part of the American Horticultural Society's Reciprocal Program for Arboreta. Thus although it is a commercial concern, it also plays a documented role in American plant conservation. (Note: I am not affiliated with the garden in any way; I am just interested in reasonably comprehensive articles on botanical gardens and arboreta.)

 * Delete. No assertion of notability, fails WP:ORG. No substantial coverage in third-party sources. Sheep NotGoats   (Talk) 13:24, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:48, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. To judge by this, all that participation in the AHS Reciprocal Admissions Program amounts to is that St. John's has agreed to give members of the other participating gardens a 15% discount on purchases, not that the garden "plays a documented role in American plant conservation." Notability, as usual, requires evidence of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources, and I'm not finding any in a Google search (including Books, Scholar, and News). If sources establishing notability can be provided, I'll reconsider my opinion. Deor (talk) 03:54, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete; hmm, I am not seeing any good sources which is a pity since we need more coverage of such topics. Smile a While (talk) 21:33, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
