 * Weak keep This search turns up some possible sources, including a mention in the poetry of Richard Wilbur, provided that the same villa is meant. deranged bulbasaur  09:08, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. The Villa Sciarra most prominent in Bulbasaur's search, which is in Rome, is a different place from the one treated in this article, which was (it apparently no longer exists; see http://www.lnf.infn.it/conference/nn2002/villasciarra.html here]) in Frascati. The Wilbur poem is about the one in Rome. Deor (talk) 15:13, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don’t see that its current state of repair (or existence!) need detain us: we’re not writing a tourist guide. If it was notable, then it deserves a place in the encyclopedia. Deor’s useful link shows that it did have important inhabitants: Federico Borromeo should make up for the loss of Richard Wilbur. And the article points to a gate by Nicola Salvi. (Our article on him is very short compared to it:Nicola Salvi.) Probably not the most interesting villa in Italy, but I’m convinced that the article could be improved and could be useful to a few serious readers. That’s enough for me.—Ian Spackman (talk) 21:43, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Also it appears in the Archivio dei giardini e parchi storici, of the Ministero per i Beni e le Attivita Culturale (Roughly, the Italian Ministry for cultural patrimony and activities.)—Ian Spackman (talk) 21:50, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - This appears to be a well preserved historic villa. Even poet Richard Wilbur wrote in detail of it. --Oakshade (talk) 00:45, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
