48 Belgrave Square

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is almost certainly a hoax. The building has been owned by the Mexican government and used as an embassy or ambassador's residence since 1921. Other past owners include Stapleton Cotton, 1st Viscount Combermere and John Jackson (engineer). The bit about a British Nazi sympathiser owning it in 1938 and flying the Nazi flag can't possibly be true. Please see the related AfD discussion Articles for deletion/Sarah Winter.

 * Delete as these books don't appear to exist (searched OCLC WorldCat and the Googles) and I suspect the authors don't either. All of the creator's edits ought to be scrutinized. --DiamondRemley39 (talk) 21:48, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Aaaaaand that editor used those books in the first attempt at creating the Sarah Winter article. See this edit. In follow up edit, they wrote, "Added correct sources - sorry about false ones earlier". DiamondRemley39 (talk) 21:53, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per DiamondRemley. I was also unable to find any evidence that either of the cited books exists.  Even if this does exist, WP:TNT applies, as the current content appears to be a hoax. Hog Farm Bacon 21:52, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per Hog Farm. Better delete than take the risk of having a hoax on WP.-- SirEdimon Dimmi!!! 07:23, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment. 38-48 Belgrave Square is a Grade I listed building, so clearly passes WP:GEOFEAT and is worth an article. However, this is not it. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:16, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:V and almost certainly a hoax for the reasons set forth above. 24.151.56.107 (talk) 16:57, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Most likely a hoax, as per discussion on Sarah Winter deletion discussion. All contributions and articles by article contributor Worcester1 should be given a long hard look and removed if without clear, obvious and verifiable sources. -- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 11:35, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
