Dartmouth Friary

I found no significant coverage for this monastery. In its current state, the article only says "Dartmouth Friary was a friary in Devon, England". Fails WP:N. SL93 (talk) 00:46, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete . "Dartmouth Friary was a friary in Devon, England."  Fantastic.  Reliable sourcing and historical accuracy?  Not fantastic.  According to a website called Triposo (albeit probably not a reliable source), the place called Dartmouth Friary probably wasn't even a friary.  Check it out: .  —Theodore!

 *  Delete  This monastery existed and I would not oppose recreating the article if significant coverage can be found. However, all that I could find was a passing mention in this book, which is inadequate even for a start class article.  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  02:33, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Subject of an important controversy around the role of mendicants, and the most sustained attempt to bring a friary into the vast diocese of Exeter. JASpencer (talk) 22:52, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Any offline/online sources for this? SL93 (talk) 22:53, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep -- It may be shortlived, but that does not prevent ther subject being an interesting contribution to the hisotry of the mendicant orders in England. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:39, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sources are hard to find, but I've found it mentioned in a few books and have dramatically expanded the article – it's quite an interesting story, in fact. The only questions are whether the title is correct (none of the sources actually call it this), and whether it would be better included as the early history of an article on St Saviour's Church, Dartmouth, if anyone cares to write that. —S MALL  JIM   16:44, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
