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. Meph^talk 12:02, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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? Meph^talk 12:11, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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. --do ncr am 15:04, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly, although in this case I simply asked the author for the source, which helped immensely. Despite being the principal fact, the reference to the NRHP emerged comparatively late. Both you and Sarek did an excellent job at short notice. Meph^talk 17:19, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
