I found no significant coverage for this suburb. Fails WP:N. SL93 (talk) 16:57, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Another pointless settlement microstub - not even enough content to consider merging into Brentwood. A redirect wouldn't hurt, though. bobrayner (talk) 20:12, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Significant coverage of this settlement exists.  Was an independent settlement and was even separately tax assessed in the 1500s and later.. --Oakshade (talk) 00:04, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. Has an entry in A Vision of Britain through Time, so why not in Wikipedia? Several old books also have entries for it. I'd say that adds up to enough significant coverage to meet WP:GNG. Maybe (even) less important a place now than in the past, but Notability is not temporary. Qwfp (talk) 12:38, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * REdirect to A1023 road (possibly merging some text. At most this seems to be about a parade of shops.  In the US, it would be a mall.  Sucha articles are regualrly deleted.  Peterkingiron (talk) 23:23, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry? In the US an historically independent community would be a mall?  I've never seen independent communities past or present deleted, regularly or otherwise. --Oakshade (talk) 23:43, 18 April 2012 (UTC)


 * keep The reference shows that it was in fact a separate community -- presumably a hamlet consisting of s string of houses along a road. That's enough for permanent notability. DGG ( talk ) 19:21, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
