9 Newcastle Road

 * – ( View AfD View log )

John Lennon lived here for his first 5 years of his life here which does not make the house notable. 251 Menlove Avenue, on the other hand, is a notable home of his. SL93 (talk) 17:43, 26 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect to John_Lennon. One-line article on a subject which is already covered well enough in the article on John Lennon, whose own notability is the only reason 9 Newcastle Road exists in WP. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 20:20, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Hobbes Goodyear's sensible recommendation.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  20:42, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect -- an alternative target might be 251 Menlove Avenue, in which it could be said that this was Lennon's earlier home. The other is notable, only because the National Trust have preserved it.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:57, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. I think redirecting looks like the thin end of the wedge.  He lived there for 5 years - if we do this for every notable person in the world, we are going to end up with an awful lot of redirects... --Legis (talk - contribs) 21:49, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * If this were a recent creation, I might agree, but it's over a year old. Also, John Lennon is not merely notable--if we delete, I can see this article cropping up again every so often. Maybe better to have the redirect in place and be done with it? --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 22:09, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
