 * Keep as exceedingly notable. Tonywalton | Talk 13:01, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect per Pilatus, Proto. Tonywalton | Talk 15:32, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh keep. Ask any Londoner. --Tony Sidaway Talk  13:29, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Hampstead Heath, watching out for doggers and cottagers. Proto t c 14:44, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm going with Pilatus on this one. Redirect, nothing to merge. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 15:56, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh ye of little faith! Just so happens I'm an adopted Londoner.... --Tony Sidaway Talk 00:02, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect slightly more info than at Hampstead Heath, but no need for a separate article. JPD 17:30, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep reasonably unique facility. --TimPope 18:54, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I added a little history to it. --TimPope 19:28, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Great work. As they have historically been pretty famous in their own right, I think they do deserve a separate article.  I'd pop upstairs and grab my copy of Peter Ackroyd's London, a Biography, but we've got a guest in the room where we keep it.  Will try to remember tomorrow. Ackroyd most likely has some blood-curdling bits of history; the river Fleet is one of his favorite subjects. --Tony Sidaway Talk  22:47, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - the Hampstead Ponds have a unique place in London culture Rhyddfrydol 20:28, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - It's Wiki-worthy enough... UniReb 21:21, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Easily the most famous things of their type in the UK. There must be millions of people who have heard of them. CalJW 22:05, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable and newsworthy. Andy Mabbett 22:53, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. No reason not to. Alf 22:54, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
