Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Newby Head


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   Keep. Those favoring keep cited additional sources to indicate historic interest and therefore notability. Those favoring delete made no persuasive response to this. The issue with the other place of the same name in Cumbria can be solved by editing, perhaps including copying content from the history of this article with proper attribution.

Newby Head

no assertion of notability. Ironholds (talk) 21:56, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, I normally favor keeping real places, but this is a house. If there were an article at Newby Head Pass, I would recommend merging to that, but there isn't.  And what is that link supposed to be proving?  Woogee (talk) 23:49, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - There actually is some coverage of this house, mostly from books, the latter stating the inn was "popular with drovers."--Oakshade (talk) 17:42, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article was originally written about the place, perhaps incorrectly described as a settlement, rather than the house, and should be returned to being about that subject, which, judging by the Google Books results linked above, is clearly notable. It can then include information about the inn (which I'm glad to read was clean and respectably conducted), the pass, the farm, the sources of rivers and anything else that is covered by reliable sources.

 * They are two different places, in different counties. If both are notable, there should be separate articles (although the place in Cumbria probably only needs a redirect or a hatnote, as it doesn't appear to be a separate village, and the house in Yorkshire probably only needs a mention in an article about Newby Head Pass, Newby Head Moss or the parish it is in). snigbrook (talk) 19:23, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, I see that the original article about the place in Cumbria has been hijacked to be about the place in Yorkshire. It would be helpful if the nominator could say which of these this discussion is supposed to be about. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:47, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The North Yorkshire location. Ironholds (talk) 22:06, 28 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment: It might help if somebody explained what country it's in. Woogee (talk) 20:28, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Context has now been added. snigbrook (talk) 22:10, 28 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. per sources procured by User: Oakshade. Inn was notable at one time.-- Pink Bull  13:47, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
