Dr. Aron Wright House[edit]

This historical building was tagged as a suspected hoax, but it seems to exist per [1]. However, there's no indication that it has received enough significant coverage in reliable sources to meet WP:GNG Claritas § 21:09, 10 July 2010 (UTC) [reply]

Keep - So far I haven't determined if it really is on the NRHP, but it does seem to be a historic house used in the Underground Railroad. [2][3] Even the obviously non-local Ottawa Citizen considers it historic and has given it significant coverage.[4] Looks impressive too.--Oakshade (talk) 22:47, 10 July 2010 (UTC) Addition - The property is in fact on the National Register of Historic Places. [5] The NRHP has much higher inclusion standards than Wikipedia with very heavy research and vetting required to achieve registration and all the legal protections that go with it.--Oakshade (talk) 15:00, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I missed this coverage because I searched for narrower terms. In my opinion, however, the content would probably be best in an article about Wright himself, not the house. Claritas § 12:03, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is now established that the house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and NRHP-listed properties are generally considered notable enough for their own articles. In addition, several other sources have now been found to further verify its notability. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 23:51, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, like all other National Register properties, it has print sources available; one can email nr_referencenps.gov for a free copy of the official form used to nominate it to the Register, and this form is a reliable source. Nyttend (talk) 12:43, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as nom., the search terms I used originally were faulty, as it's not normally known as the "Dr. Aron Wright House". Claritas § 18:39, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
