Bourne End, Cranfield

There's really nothing that can be said about this hamlet - suggest it should be merged into Cranfield, which is its parent civil parish. Interplanet Janet, Esquire IANAL 08:54, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Just a cursory look into book sources shows there has been plenty of significant coverage on this place. --Oakshade (talk) 15:24, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes.... perhaps more than a cursory look might be called for here? One of those sources is about Bourne End, Buckinghamshire, and the other is about Bourne End, Hertfordshire. Both of those are notable villages in their own right; Bourne End, Cranfield in Bedfordshire is not. Interplanet Janet, Esquire IANAL 20:49, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I didn't see what region the first one was referring to (didn't know there was more than one "Bourne End"), but I did see the 2nd referred to Hertfordshire, which is directly adjacent to Bedfordshire and the location of this one was right near the border between the two. Over the centuries, these ceremonial counties don't always keep the same boundaries. Based on your information, I'll remain neutral for now. --Oakshade (talk) 21:03, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment. Consensus is that all recognised settlements are notable. However, I'm not sure how recognised this settlement is. It doesn't appear to have a sign at the outskirts stating its name. If someone can show me evidence that it does have then I'll vote to keep, but otherwise I'm neutral. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:53, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Merge to Cranfield, per nominator, without prejudice to re-creating it if anyone can find something properly referenced to say about it other than that it exists. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:15, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to Cranfield, without prejudice to reinstating the redirect as an article if there is substantive content to be included; at presnet we have none. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:09, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
