United Church of Christ Cemetery[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unsourced, single-line stub about a cemetery with no claim of significance other than one notable person buried there. Article was deprodded by article creator without explanation. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:16, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is obviously a stub placeholder and would be deleted anyway for lack of citation but doing a quick Google search shows most hits for "United Church of Christ Cemetary Holgate, Ohio" just leads to wikipedia mirror sites and the occassional mention in individuals' obituaries. So no provided evidence of notability is combined with no easy sign that evidence of notability is even possible. -Markeer 16:50, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of Cemeteries in Ohio The content can be sourced from Google Books The Baseball Necrology: The Post-Baseball Lives and Deaths, and the Coords are available at Google maps. Category:Cemeteries in Ohio is an existing category. Unscintillating (talk) 20:06, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Unscintillating: I wouldn't oppose a merge to a list if such a list exists with appropriate inclusion criteria, but I don't see one (if I did, I probably would've just boldly done the merge rather than take it to AfD). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 21:03, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sorry, I intended that the link being red was part of my !vote. Also, I'm not volunteering to create the article. We need some essay somewhere that talks about the maintainability of the encyclopedia. Another point is that Google lists the cemetery as "St. Pauls...", so I'm not sure at this point that we can reliably identify the name from a primary source. This page by itself would in this future world need to be a DAB, as there are many "United Church of Christ Cemetery"s. Unscintillating (talk) 21:23, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Most cemeteries aren't notable, and this one demonstrates no difference. I question the truthfulness of this article, as well: I can't find a single cemetery in Holgate (it's a tiny community), under any name. Nyttend (talk) 16:13, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Having hung out tiny American towns, I AGF and suspect that there is a minor, old-time ball player named Jack Hallett buried there, but that it's hard to source.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:23, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That said, I think we can delete this article, for having no sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:23, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we should keep the present name even as a merge, because the United Church of Christ used to be a pretty big denomination, and it can't be right to direct UCC cemetery to a cemetery we can't even source.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:27, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
