Trees for Canterbury

A community organisation to plant more trees. A worthy aim, but hardly an encyclopaedic entry. Grutness|^hello? 06:33, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Keep, doesn't seem to fall foul of WWIN, and it does no other harm. Dan100 20:48, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Agree with Dan100. Notability is not in deletion policy, BTW.Dr Zen 02:03, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Keep seems to be more than some random person with a greenhouse, it won some local awards and claims to have put nearly 500,000 plants "into the community". Kappa 03:10, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Why is there no vfd header on this article? RickK 22:24, Jan 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Sigh. Because I put one there when the edit mechanisms broke down (see Villge Pump (technical) if you managed to avoid all the problems!) Grutness|^hello? 23:59, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Marginal keep, could improve, nothing too wrong with it in the meantime. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 00:27, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Delete, stealth ad for a commercial product. Lack of notability is within the criteria for deletion, as part of the definition for encylcopedic. Wyss 04:20, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Marginal keep, seems to be nothing wrong with it, as others have said (and, certianly, nothing putting it under the deletion policy). James F. (talk) 07:38, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Not encyclopedia material. Every city and town on Earth has several, perhaps dozens, of organizations that do good works. Where I live near Boston there is a 70 page directory, two or three organizations per page, covering just the suburbs west of Boston, with counseling centers, outreach groups, fundraising groups, youth groups, support groups, fraternal organizations that supposedly do charitiable works, groups that raise money for scholarships, etc, etc, etc. Every single one of them is as notable as this, many of them more so. Wikipedia is not a worldwide directory of community and neighborhood organizations. --BM 02:15, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
