Talk:Volendam Windmill

Deletion?

I believe the content that did nothing but promote the entity described has been deleted.

Again I object to the deletion of the article. As for evicence of notabilty, it is the only windmill in the state of New Jersey. It might not be a Registered historic site but never-the-less it is a museum. As a cultural and educational institution albeit a small and odd one, it should be deemed as notable on Wikipedia. "The windmill is a living museum which demonstrates an authentic model of a mill driven by wind, used for grinding raw grain into flour. The sixty foot structure is seven stories high with sail arms sixty-eight feet from tip to tip." . Also the Volendam Windmill is listed on Hunterdon County Website. It was chosen to be listed there by Hunterdon County Cultural & Heritage Commission a county body that the Board of Chosen Freeholders created by resolution according to State Statute on January 1, 1971. Listing institutions like the Volendam Windmill on wikipedia raises awarness of local history and heritage, supports local economy, and in a way preserves the rural landscape and character of Hunterdon County. It also contributes to stopping suburban sprawl and keeping the Garden State a real garden state.

Of course the mill is notable enough to have its own article on Wikipedia. It needs expanding and better referencing, but that isn't a reason to delete it. Mjroots (talk) 21:13, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
