Brook Farm House

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

No assertion of notability. It is an old building, but there are lots of old buildings. Is it listed? Is there anything that makes it notable? Zero ghits, as far as I can see.

It is worth noting that it appears to have been added to wikipedia by its owners, so besides potential insignificance, there's a COI issue to consider. Tagishsimon (talk) 16:42, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Can't find any evidence of notability on Google News, Scholar or Books. Qwfp (talk) 19:28, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. According to this pamphlet from the Hampshire County Council (page 2), the house is "Grade II listed". I have no idea what the significance of that is, but it answers the nom's question "Is it listed?" Deor (talk) 20:19, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Thanks for that. Listed status is of significance - Grade II is defined at "buildings of special architectural or historic interest" - see Listed building. Equally there are 418,000 Grade II listed buildings in England and Wales. I'm not convinced that on its own a Grade II listing satisfies WP:N, not least with respect to an article which does not explain what the special architectural or historic interest is which got the building the listing. --Tagishsimon (talk) 20:43, 23 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge with Brook, Hampshire, where it is. It is alleged to have been its manor house.  That article is also only a stub, so that the merger will improve it.  Delete the resultant redirectas unnecessary.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:13, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment That would be a good solution. --Tagishsimon (talk) 22:27, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be a solution that contravenes the project's copyright licences. Uncle G (talk) 22:30, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Depends how it is done. There is so little content ... adding a sentence to the Brook article which correctly records that there's a C18 listed farmhouse in Brook would effect a merge without using the words in the article. That being the case, the article could then be deleted. --Tagishsimon (talk) 00:44, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge Worth including. Can be broken out again if substantial sourcing is found. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:24, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Brook, Hampshire, the building is Grade II listed, but only dates from the C18th according to English Heritage (who should know about these matters). Mjroots (talk) 08:53, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge the last paragraph of this article to the last paragraph of Brook, Hampshire, as above (and correct the dating of the building per Mjroots's source). Deor (talk) 22:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
