Keep Though the article lacks second source references it does appear notable. It is however, a stub.--User:Warrior777 (talk) 12:16, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ITSNOTABLE, please provide evidence of sources to meet WP:ORG. The article is unreferenced. See WP:MUSTBESOURCES. LibStar (talk) 13:17, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to University of Georgia, as we usually do with university departments that have limited independent notability. A better search than the one automatically linked in the nomination is Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL.

Keep. I've added several references to the article. I think it's at least marginally notable. I disagree with the proposal to merge it into the university article, for at least two reasons: (1) Arboretums are visitor attractions in addition to being (in this case) university facilities, so there's value in documenting them separately. (2) There's no article for the Tifton Campus of the University of Georgia, so there's no decent destination to merge the article to. The campus is not even mentioned in the main University of Georgia article. It is mentioned in University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, but barely. (University sports are thoroughly documented in many articles, though.) --Orlady (talk) 02:49, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
