The result was keep. While the keep arguments are a bit thin - it's usually useful if you actually show the sources - some of them have been shown and went uncontested. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:23, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Mansfield Building Society

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Small local business with four locations; does not meet WP:NCORP. Refs & ELs are all primary sources/directory listings. Unable to find significant in-depth coverage in RS. Searching finds many business-listings and at least one press-release, but no independent coverage. MB 14:02, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

 * It was established in 1869. There will certainly be plenty about it in printed material from the nineteenth century.  Notability does not have to be known to Google.Rathfelder (talk) 18:31, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Rathfelder and I are probably going to say here pretty much what we said a couple of months ago at Articles for deletion/Marsden Building Society. Mccapra (talk) 19:10, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. Building Societies have played an important role in English life and there are plenty of sources going back a long time. I see no reason to delete this one or Marsden Building Society, which was not deleted at that discussion. --Bduke (talk) 00:01, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
