Delete Come for the "cute little chapel" stay for the possibility that a bird will show up. Feh. Caknuck 09:00, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not delete this article, which is part of a series on arboretums & botanical gardens in the United States. I think many people would disagree with the statement that "wikipedia is not a place to list botanical gradens in the world". If you feel this article's description is not up to Wikipedia's standards, please mark it as a stub in need of improvement, but please do not delete a factual article because you don't like some sentences in its current wording.

- It's not so much that I dislike the wording, it's just that it's a stub about a non-notable botanical gardens that probably won't progress much past the 4 or 5 sentences there now. The fact that two of the aforementioned sentences talk about the chapel and the possible appearance of a common songbird underscore the lack of notability. Caknuck 19:16, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - the current article sounds a little (very little) like an advertisement. Is there any local signifigance to the garden as per WP:LOCAL? -- Whpq 19:22, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It appears to be a local tourist attraction as well, since there is a page for it at the local convention and visitors bureau. Searching for it at the local newspapers http://www.google.ca/search?q=%22Carleen+Bright+Arboretum%22+site%3Awacotrib.com and http://www.google.ca/search?q=%22Carleen+Bright+Arboretum%22+site%3Awacocitizen.com results in several mentions as a meeting location, but no article on the Arboretum itself. There were probably several articles on it as it was being planned and built, but I can't locate those articles. --Eastmain 22:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
delete I quote from the article "gardens (6 acres), an amphitheater with covered gazebo, a cute little chapel, and a rental facility. " DGG 07:00, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Woodway, Texas, where 8,733 people had the opportunity to enjoy this arboretum in the year 2000 (I don't know whether they did or not, but the 2,8% of the population living below the poverty line probably appreciated that it is open without any fee). There was actually plenty of room in the Woodway, Texas article, which was all just statistics, and I have have already merged the arboretum there per WP:BB. (If more is found in the future, it can be broken out again.) Throwing out articles like this one is really a waste, when a merge is so easily done. up◦land 11:38, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
