This is a house with lacking notability, with the only reliable sources being in passing mention related to The Blair Witch Project. At best a redirect to the article about the 1999 film. edtiorEهեইдအီးËეεઈדוארई電子ಇអ៊ី전자ഇī😎 23:22, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Griggs House has primary documentation that indicates it as a historic structure in the Maryland Historical Trust of Historic Properties - Record BA-1579, (Updated Feb 11 2016) representing early architecture and settlement of the town of Granite Maryland. It is secondly notable as a significant storyline feature in a movie of worldwide distribution and to a lesser degree notable in nationwide coverage for the conflict between state resources performing an unusual accelerated demolition as preservationists were in process of gathering resources.

• First of all, notability is not inherited. Second, the nationwide sources that were about this house were in relation to only the film and were published upon the film's 1999 distribution. Third, saying that a home has "primary documentation that indicates it as a historic structure in the Maryland Historical Trust of Historic Properties" doesn't automatically make the house notable. edtiorEهեইдအီးËეεઈדוארई電子ಇអ៊ី전자ഇī😎 21:37, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - If the Maryland Historical Trust considers it notable, so should we and their report is extensive.[1] We are not the decider of notability but other organizations such as this that specialize in history, research and the historic significance of properties certainly is. It would still be notable if it had nothing to do with any film. --Oakshade (talk) 23:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep if the history seems to make it convincing for notability, unlikely any serious needs for deletion. SwisterTwister talk 23:59, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per the Maryland Historical Trust and the report provided by Oakshade. Egsan Bacon (talk) 19:49, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
