Unless I haven't seen a policy, this isn't notable. Person removing prod tag didn't give a reason for doing so.  Alex Muller  08:40, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - No source. Unref blp and a bit of skepticism is in order. Shadowjams (talk) 09:23, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Given the references. Shadowjams (talk) 21:51, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Um, unreferenced BLP? Its about a priory... Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 09:42, 1 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. Whatever happened to WP:BEFORE? Description at British History here, here and here, with map. - Pointillist (talk) 09:41, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Another good source is The topography and natural history of Hampstead, in the County of Middlesex by John J. Park (1814) (Google Books - there's a picture of the remains opposite page 202). - Pointillist (talk) 10:25, 1 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Still no context, clear delete. If half the ink spilled here was spent on the subject this issue wouldn't even exist. Shadowjams (talk) 10:04, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It's down to the nominator to do the searches and attempt to improve the article. You can help. - Pointillist (talk) 10:25, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Pot, kettle. Kettle, pot. Now that we're done with introductions, can we get some work done? I added a ref, but have no opinion regarding notability at this time. --Nuujinn (talk) 11:11, 1 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Our notability guideline states, "Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Notability requires only the existence of suitable reliable sources, not their immediate citation.". This does not seem to have been followed.  Colonel Warden (talk) 14:00, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, it's now well-referenced. The central arguments for notability seem to be (i) religious institution in continuous operation for 400 years; (ii) the origin of the village that became Kilburn and the Abbey Road (which gave its name to The Beatles' album and the Abbey National); (iii) once thought to have been the place where the Ancrene Wisse was authored. That should be sufficient. All the references were easily found online and IMO the nominator should have looked harder. - Pointillist (talk) 17:58, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * comment User:Bali ultimate is correct: '"Before" is just some guy's essay. Ignore it at leisure.' also no notice to article creator. AfD all of Starzynka's work, it can be referenced faster than you can delete. Accotink2  talk 01:24, 2 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Snowball keep, notability established by refs. Article could be further improved by the addition of Infobox monastery. Mjroots (talk) 21:44, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Infobox monastery has now been added. - Pointillist (talk) 23:35, 1 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks guys, looks good. Do the coordinates I added look like they're in the right place? Seeing as that's how I came across the article in the first place -  Alex Muller  16:43, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * There's a useful map on commons File:Westbourne-route-1790.jpg, though it doesn't look accurate enough to take co-ordinates from! - Crosbiesmith (talk) 19:34, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Coord need to be both the same number of decimals, either 3 or 4, but not a mix of the two. Mjroots (talk) 14:17, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
