Talk:The Kings Arms


 * The Kings Arms - advert (perhaps redirect to pub names or public house?) Andy Mabbett 11:40, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)
 * VinnieWhy do that? It's not an advert it's an old traditional pub in Portesham that represents what English pubs are all about. Don't delete beacsue you may not understand something. Yes here is a url pointing to the pub, but having said that the homesite is quite informative. I am sure they wouldn't mind linking back here. I actually sent the owner an email he wanted it here as he has the oldest pub in Portesham and is a promoter of portesham in every sense of the word. +
 * Please don't try to blame me for a supposed lack of understanding. Andy Mabbett 12:12, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC) +
 * Gee, the owner of the pub is glad to have free worldwide advertising. Why am I not surprised? Delete or make it into a universal article, as has been suggested. RickK 01:54, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC) +
 * Delete, Agree with Andy. References to specific pubs (as opposed to just common pub-NAMES) are not appropriate in an encyclopedia. Spellbinder 12:09, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC) +
 * Redirected. Andy Mabbett 12:37, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC) +
 * Can I vote to alter the redirect? Because 'The Kings Arms' is a popular pub name in England, and is it obvious in the public house article why this is? How about turning it into an article about pubs with that name in general, or 'the something-or-other's arms', and explain what that means? Francs2000 14:31, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC) +
 * Presumably different pubs bear the arms of different kings? To my mind, the signs are at least as interesting as the names. Maybe there needs to be an English pub signs article to bind them all? Bmills 14:39, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC) +
 * Good idea. Francs2000 14:47, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC) +
 * "How about turning it into an article about pubs with that name" - You (or anyone else) are welcome to write such an article, at that page. Andy Mabbett 15:29, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC) +
 * If someone writes a basic article on the name in 7 days, redirect there. If not, delete. I've been to this pub and its not that special. DJ Clayworth 19:52, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC) +
 * Keep this page. theres nothing at all wrong with it 207.44.154.35
 * Didn't this get discussed a couple of weeks back when I also put this page up for deletion? If it stays can I write an article about the Spread Eagle in Southend on Sea which is my local, and The Hamlet Court, which isn't, but i often go in for a pint whilst waiting for a take away from the curry house next door? And the Golden lion, which nobody ever goes in??? And the Bell, which is a dump but the only pub I pass on the way home from work???? quercus robur 17:17, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC)
 * As this has been rewritten, I delisted it from VfD. Maybe it can be an article about the name Kings Arms, but I suggest if an article on pub names is ever written, then it be redirected there instead. Angela. 03:55, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)
