Not sure if this should be a standalone list. A merger into List of North Carolina state forests might be troublesome based on definitions. It has one incoming link, an incorrect title (should be "List of North Carolina State University forests") and is not a very good aid to navigation with just one of them having an article.

Delete or redirect/merge My suggestion is to create List of protected areas of Moore County, North Carolina to go along with the category of the same name. Then merge or redirect this to there. Otherwise, just Delete it. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:15, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with adamant1. Alternative approach to deletion would be better. TheRollBoss001 (talk) 09:49, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/delete It's not clear these are all in Moore County so I think think that list would be appropriate, not to mention not having other such articles for counties (there are lists in county articles). North Carolina State University would be a better target, if not a new article for its College of Natural Resource if there's other notable content about it.

Keep or merge with a NCSU article. The original intent of this list was to provide a place for the university's forests to go, other than the List of North Carolina state forests, as they have little relation. At the time of list creation, I thought surely Hofmann Forest and Schenck Forest would have articles soon, considering the amount of public attention they receive. I'm surprised they still lack even a stub in Wikipedia. Other than G.W. Hill Forest, the rest might not be notable enough to support articles of their own, but the subject as a whole is notable. The university's forests are spread across the state and are not contained within a single county. –Sparkgap (talk) 17:07, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Considering just one is probably notable, is there any reason they can't just be mentioned in the article for the University? --Adamant1 (talk) 10:19, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not convincing at all that this is a notable topic. Of the list, only one has an article and even then its notability is in doubt. Ajf773 (talk) 10:16, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY, this just looks like an indiscriminate collection of information. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 13:19, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
