I believe the only plausible indication of importance is the age of the building, irrespective of the actual inn as a business. However, the significance of the building and inn are not discussed otherwise. Mephtalk 12:02, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted because... Blackberry River Inn is a building that was erected in 1763, is listed on the National Register of Historic places, and thus a place of importance for United States history. The aim of this article is not of commercial nature whatsoever. --Bayside7 (talk) 12:03, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
- I conducted a search on the National Register of Historic Places database: [1]. I found no reference to Blackberry River, CT or Blackberry, CT, only Blackberry Hill in North Carolina. Please could you provide a source to corroborate the NRHP claim? Mephtalk 12:11, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
Hello, sure I can. I think you did not find it because it is listed as "Moseley House-Farm" I will also add this to the references on the side that I created. http://nrhp.focus.nps.gov/natregsearchresult.do?fullresult=true&recordid=9 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bayside7 (talk • contribs) 12:27, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
- Bayside7 was correct and was reading the NRHP nomination document. The URL was a temporary one, but I added permanent URL to the now-more-developed article. I removed the tagging for 3rd deletion attempt on the article. This is definitely a Keep! Thanks Bayside7 for starting the article. Sorry you, as a new Wikipedia editor, have to endure so much negative pressure towards erasing your first contributions. It seems like a gauntlet to get through the first few articles and get started here. Good for you to have contested the deletion attempts, and I am glad I noticed your related edit at the List of RHPs in Litchfield article and came and investigated. To Mephistophelian, while I think your interactions here were also meant in good faith, if in the future anyone is making NRHP-related claims that you question please do call attention to NRHP editors at wt:NRHP to help sort out the facts. --doncram 15:04, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
