Arbour square

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested PROD. No evidence of notability given. When DGG contested the PROD he/she commented "probably notable". Surely the emphasis on those contesting the PROD is to prove it? Roleplayer (talk) 11:08, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I sometimes deprod on the basis that it needs a more general discussion, by people who know more than I. Deprod doesnt necessarily mean keep--though it seems to here. . DGG (talk) 22:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * keep there is evidence of notability right there in the article - Grade 1 and 2 listed buildings, unchanged since 1830. Letting this in does not open any floodgates.Filceolaire (talk) 13:04, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - a well referenced article about a Grade II listed square - a Grade II listing officially means that the buildings are of "special architectural or historical interest", i.e. are notable. nancy  (talk) 14:02, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - Just in its historical preservation interests indicates notability. Historic references exist and a couple are in the article.  --Oakshade (talk) 17:53, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - I just added the IOE references to emphasis the listed building notability. The Police Station has notability too, although not yet mentioned in the article, apart from a citation, there was a squatting incident for which I found lots of references.

 * Keep. Grade II listed buildings are roughly equivalent to the National Register of Historic Places on this side of the pond, so these buildings and the square surely must be notable.  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 21:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
