 * Delete. There are some who might complain that this was pounced on minutes after its creation, but I don't see a minimal claim of importance being made here.  The article is indeed about a family farm.  They grow apples and peaches, and berries of some sort.  It's a pick your own orchard.  They apparently also have a petting zoo and a playground.  They even get local coverage; the Worcester Telegram & Gazette consulted Phyllis Tougas about the berry crop. Phyllis Tougas of Tougas Family Farm in Northboro said berries have been slow in ripening, so the season got off to a late start. ... (Attempting to link the story triggers a spam filter on this page, too.)  I don't see this kind of coverage as conferring minimal significance on this business. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 05:36, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The AFD is a stall tactic. If we speedy delete the article, chances are it's going to be reposted and an wheel war could ensue.  AFD serves two purposes: to establish a consensus and to make the one who posted the article understand why it should be deleted.  –BuickCenturyDriver 12:13, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but that's really not so helpful--wheel war? Still, I'm closing this as delete. Drmies (talk) 20:45, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Do as you please. I don't mind the article was deleted, but I feel it's best to use AFD rather then speedy, and then retag again and again every time the article gets reposted.  Aside from the time the person put into writing the article it's my way of respecting new editors and making them feel welcome, so they're less likely to resent the deletion and move foreward.  –BuickCenturyDriver 11:34, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
