Couldn't find significant independent coverage. Article's sources are affiliated. Reads like an advertisement. '''&thinsp;&mdash;'''&nbsp;[[User:Mr. Guye|Mr. Guye]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Mr. Guye|talk]])&nbsp;([[Special:Contributions/Mr. Guye|contribs]])&thinsp; 01:45, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

*'''Oppose''' deletion. It certainly needs re-writing though. There are at least 76 references using this source in other articles, and it is a useful resource for plant names. As the article says, it is linked to, and hence to a degree recommended by, highly reputable online plant databases, such as GRIN, IPNI, etc. I don't have time to re-write it now, but it can be done.

*'''Keep''' In many cases this is the most readily available source for translating plant names into multiple languages, and thus sees frequent recognition and use in other large databases and in sources all over the web. --<span style="font-family:Courier">[[User:Elmidae|Elmidae]]</span> <small>([[User talk:Elmidae|talk]] · [[Special:contributions/Elmidae|contribs]])</small> 16:36, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

*'''Keep'''. [http://www.plantnames.unimelb.edu.au/Sorting/Frontpage.html Here is] proper entry point to the database if I understand correctly. At the first glance, it looks to me as a useful and important specialized database, and it was quoted multiple times, exactly as Peter coxhead tells above. The page is poorly written and disorganized, however this is not a valid reason for deletion. Yes, it should be fixed.
