Criteria for "Noteworthy"

Hi,

I'd like to know what makes a garden "noteworthy". Are there any criteria that are being used here, or why are these particular gardens listed and others aren't?

I have simply been wondering because there is only one "noteworthy" garden listed for Europe. That doesn't exactly seem like a comprehensive listing to me, considering that Germany alone has, by now, far more than 100 Biblical gardens. I am sure there must be a few more "noteworthy" ones, but I wouldn't be sure which ones to add without knowing which criteria are being used. --Anna (talk) 14:13, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Additional question: I have been used to think of Wikipedia as preferring running text to lists (or is this not true for the English Wikipedia?). Shouldn't there be a few words of description for each garden, and a brief explanation of what makes it "noteworthy"? The more so since some of the links only get you to a town or church website which barely mentions the Biblical garden?

Or, if this is to remain a pure list, shouldn't it then be (as nearly as possible) a comprehensive one of all noteworthy gardens?

Again, that of course would mean that we do need criteria for what makes a garden "noteworthy". --Anna (talk) 09:21, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
