[edit] Lackawanna County Cemeteries

Lackawanna County Cemeteries (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Simply a list of cemeteries in a specific county, fails WP:DIRECTORY and WP:IINFO. Dougie WII (talk) 16:13, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per the nomination on the ground that the article fails WP:DIRECTORY and WP:IINFO. Also, the one reference is to Rootsweb, which is a site with information uploaded by individuals who are sometimes unidentified, and which is therefore not a reliable source so the article fails the verifiability requirement. The cemetaries in the list are individually not notable enough to have articles, so it is not a navigational aid to help find Wikipedia articles. This list belongs on a county level historical society article, such as the Rootsweb site from which it was apparently copied. That website saying the info is "available free to the public" may not grant Wikipedia the right to reproduce it. (edited)Edison (talk) 16:25, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
