Fails WP:GNG/WP:NCORP. Kleuske (talk) 16:44, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
 * How so? Be specific. The article is well cited. kencf0618 (talk) 02:52, 11 June 2018 (UTC)]
 * There are four sources mentioned. Two are from their own website, two are articles in the "Boston weekly", a local publication. That's not "significant coverage in independent reliable sources", that's a joke. Kleuske (talk) 07:32, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Boise Weekly. Turtle Island is a local endeavor, hence the local coverage, and in my experience it is a unique example of communal academic outreach. kencf0618 (talk) 22:10, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * That still does not make them notable. Kleuske (talk) 08:12, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The Arbiter is the student newspaper of Boise State, FYI. I can cite them directly if you'd like. kencf0618 (talk) 22:10, 13 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I have revamped the Arbiter citation. I believe this qualifies as sufficiently significant coverage. kencf0618 (talk) 22:52, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment - - student newspapers usually don't count as suitable sources so it doesn't help notability seeking. NCORP's sourcing rules are very strict. Is there any coverage in city or state media? Nosebagbear (talk) 09:54, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Not to date. If the article is deleted prior to such coverage (which is perfectly reasonable), it'll go back up given said coverage. I tend to be a bit ahead of the curve on these things, anyway. kencf0618 (talk) 00:11, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. A single urban farm, with only very local references. This probably could have been deleted by speedy A7, for I do not think the references make a convincing case for any encyclopedic significance.  DGG ( talk ) 01:26, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
