Talk:Horticultural building system

I am the author of the entry for Horticultural Building Systems and a professor whose research focuses on vegetated architecture. The term "Horticultural Building Systems" contributes to dialogue and emerging research, yet describes a condition dating back to the advent of horticultural science.

Proposed Deletion

I have concerns about WP:Notability and proposed this article should be deleted. The article describes "Horticultural building system" as an umbrella term encompassing a number of other specific examples (e.g. green wall, vertical garden, green roof) which each have an article. However, I could not find any independent sources using the term this way. Most of the references in the article are about specific integrations of plants and buildings, and as far as I can tell do not use the phrase "Horticultural Building Systems" to describe them. The reference that does use the term seems by the person who coined it, who also won a grant related to it, and who (based on the name User talk:Rlhindle) might also be the same person who created this stub. I note from the history that these issues were raised previously by other editors but never really addressed. The Template:No_footnotes and Template:COI were removed without any other edits, or any discussion or even an edit comment by an IP user at 17:13, 9 November 2011.
