Talk:Deserted medieval village

Old talk page posts
Does not state status if exactly three houses. --Daniel C. Boyer 19:40, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I have added being overwhelmed by windblown sand as this is a not uncommon feature of the west of Britain with examples from Cornwall, Wales and north western England. I hope to add some entries to this effect in the near future. (Owenharris (talk) 16:12, 26 November 2008 (UTC))

Reverting Merge
This article was merged into Abandoned village. I have undone this merge because the topic of DMVs is a very large and important one in British archaeology. This article requires expansion by specialists, not removal. --Agrestis (talk) 09:42, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

More or less than three?
I hate to be the pedantic person to bring this up, but.... Article intro says, if there are less than three buildings, it is considered deserted, more than three, it is shrunken. So what if there are exactly three buildings? If the source has a better explanation we should copy it. It should be "three or more" or "four or more" and "three or less" or "two or less". At the moment it is not clear what a site with exactly three buildings is considered, it is not massively important, but, a small alteration of words would clear up the ambiguity and make it clear. If the source is also unclear, then...I don't know.  Carlwev  22:46, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
