Weak keep and cleanup. This is a distinct style of architecture. Someone more in the know than me can do something with this. Daniel Case16:24, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but needs cleanup and a pretty good amount of work. I wouldn't recommend a merge to National Park Service Rustic, because it's a sibling and sort of a predecessor style to NPS Rustic. I'd be willing to bet that with some searching, we could find some important historic structures that are associated with this style. --Elkman(Elkspeak)14:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Is real topic; search for "Adirondack Architecture" in Google, even in quotes (and even with "site:.edu" in the search). As a note: Perhaps people should spend their time improving articles or marking them for needing improvement, rather than having others spend their time to come here and debating the need to keep and article when if you do a Google search on the topic it is clearly a real topic. --Remi15:38, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I thought that I had done such a search, but apparently I neglected to. In my defense, I've never heard of Adirondack Architecture myself, only the state park, and I honestly had no idea what the article was trying to talk about, especially since it includes information on the park.

Comment: I just did a substantial amount of rewriting and expansion of the article. It still could use some incoming links, but when checking the NRHP submission, I found that the architectural style has links to other styles like Arts and Crafts and Stick Style, as well as connections to architects and designers like Andrew Jackson Downing, Calvert Vaux and Charles Eastlake. I'm not sure how many AfD participants are architecture fans or historic preservation fans, though. --Elkman(Elkspeak)04:19, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
