Talk:Lisvane

Untitled
There is a public school in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, called Scarborough College and Lisvane School. Is the Lisvane here, named after Lisvane near Cardiff? Or does the word Lisvane have a meaning other than being a place name or a person's name?

Also, is there a connection between Llysfaen in North Wales and Lisvane?


 * In name only. The English Lisvane is a corruption of the Welsh Llys-faen.

I am from Lisvane - Llysfaen, and I was led to believe that the translation of Llysfaen meant Court or Gathering place of kings. There is a local legend that talks of Llysfaen being an area attributed to a Welsh version of King Arthur

Never heard of any assoiciation with Lisvane and King Arthur, lots of places in Thornhill named after Arthurian legend. But I remember being told as a child, I cannot remember whom told me, but the lump of rock near the summit of Lisvane Graig was said to be the stone Arthur pulled Excaliber from, who knows. —Preceding unsigned comment added by David dudley90 (talk • contribs) 20:12, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

Assessment - Class B
I have assessed this article as Class B, however there are very few references, especially in the history section. If this article is ever to become a Good Article, more work needs to be done on citing sources. All the best. Seth Whales (talk) 15:15, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Lisvane (CAC) Tennis Club
Non-notable tennis club Tacyarg (talk) 22:24, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose The tennis club is an integral part of Cardiff Athletic Club, which is the largest multi-sports club in Cardiff. There are a number of references and has an article on the national website of Wales (walesonline.co.uk) and local website (cardiff-times.co.uk). Admittedly it is a Stub, but not all Stubs should be merged. Seth Whales   talk  18:56, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Support, and I'd also strongly suggest it is merged with Cardiff Athletic Club because most of the Lisvane (CAC) Tennis Club article is about the latter. The tennis club website suggests it has only been going since 1988, so no significant claims to longevity or notability. Sionk (talk) 01:45, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * No, the tennis section has been in existence since at least the mid 1920's "The tennis and bowls sections joined with the existing rugby and cricket sections of CAC in the mid-twenties." Seth Whales   talk  20:15, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
