 * Comment there are two articles which currently have links pointing to it.Geni 15:59, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - Are we going to have an article on every graveyard/semetary that has a famous person buried there? My God. Erwin Walsh
 * Delete. I hope we won't. Pilatus 16:08, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into the said dead dudes articles. Alf 16:30, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. WC seems non-notable (in contrast, e.g., to Highgate Cemetery. Sdedeo 16:36, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't know how to vote on this one. Google offers only 12,300 results. If it could be expanded a bit (maybe a few pictures of the cemetery), I would vote to keep. If it can't be expanded, I'd say probably delete or merge. Acetic Acid 17:49, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. There are dozens of encyclopedic cemeteries already in Wikipedia. See List of cemeteries in the United States.  This should be another one. It can and undoubtedly will be expanded. -- DS1953 17:52, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable. Kappa 21:28, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep. As per DS1953. Also note that cemetaries are often listed in traditional encyclopedias due to the notability of persons buried there. As time goes on, we will see more and more cemetary entries due to the notability of such deceased persons. At present, such entries are often the only record on Wikipedia of final resting places of notable persons.--Nicodemus75 22:04, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, we have lots of cemetery articles, this is a rather notable one, with two famous people buried there. It would be nice if it were expanded to include things like size and such.  See also List of cemeteries.  It ''would' be nice if somebody would volunteer to include all of the blue linked articles there into Category:Cemeteries ... :) Zoe 23:17, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * It's not this cemetary that is notable, it's the stiffs buried there, and two is not much. Pilatus 12:01, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Notable enough. —Charles O'Rourke 00:18, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per DS1953. --Apyule 04:02, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
