The result was   delete. No evidence for notability under GNG, only a single weak argument made for ... possible ... inherent notability. j⚛e deckertalk 17:27, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Rock Cottage

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

According to the article, this building was once Grade II listed (which I don't think is notable per se, as there are nearly 350,000 such buildings currently so listed in England and Wales); but I can't confirm that, and it is certainly no longer among the listed buildings in the parish. An article on this topic was twice deleted on Feb. 23 as unambiguous advertising, then was recreated on the same day in its current form. Nevertheless, the only search results I'm getting for "Rock Cottage" Mawgan are adverts for holiday rentals of the cottage; and in the absence of independent sources, this seems to fail both WP:V and WP:N.

 * Delete Seems just to be a bit of advertising, the only link the cottage has to the events in the history section is that it happens to be in the area where the events took place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quityergreeting (talk • contribs) 15:25, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete — no indication of notability. Delete The only suggestion of notability is the "only recorded example of a traditional Cornish Cottage built on a projecting rock foundation" thing, but that sounds a weak justification. The one reference doesn't refer to the subject. After some Googling I can find no mentions beyond holiday guides. Also salt to discourage further re-creation attempts.--A bit iffy (talk) 18:54, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I am surprised at the need for it to be delisted, as listing tends to attract grants. The section about Gear Bridge might be merged somewhere (if WP:V.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:48, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep or DeferThere is a whiff of family history, and hence OR about this. Was there any such thing as 'grade II' in the mid 50s?  I thought it was all 'listed' or 'scheduled' back then.  I can't find anything in Pastscape.  I agree with Peter, delisting should have been unecessary (if true, that alone would nearly be notable)  Sounds like garbled family history to me.  But the article was only created in February.  It may improve yet.  Some articles carry unreferenced banners for half a decade without getting AFD'd.  Why not put up unreferenced and give it a year?  What's the rush? --Robert EA Harvey (talk) 20:37, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
