[edit] World Carrot Museum

World Carrot Museum (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This doesn't meet any WP:WEB criteria, and fails to claim any degree of notability. Two self-referential citations, and one twice removed link to not-notable op-ed. The article is about one man's carrot collating. Has already been prod'd -Tiswas(t/c) 17:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak keep - articles from Cleveland Plain Dealer and Dave Barry indicate notability. This should be fleshed out some more, though. B.Wind 01:43, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per B.Wind. It is okay to point to the website about the subject if the page that is linked to is a news article by an outside source. Has nothing to do with self-reference. - Mgm|(talk) 10:07, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Heck, even Dave Barry did a write-up of it. (Call his work "trivial"? Have at it.) --Oakshade 20:58, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I prod'd this before, but the Dave Barry article satisfied WP:V and WP:N for me. i kan reed 03:33, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I wasn't initially aware of Dave Barry's notability or provenance as a journalist. To be fair, the article only mentions the museum (and I use the term loosely) in passing (I've added to the article that the homepage article is from the Miami Herald). - Tiswas(t/c) 10:55, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
