 * Delete Article does not meet Wikipedia standards, and is only a sentence long too.TH1980 (talk) 05:35, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I have added coverage of it, both sources are tertiary sources so it should pass GNG.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 17:49, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge to Standon, Hertfordshire. There's almost no info other than it existed. Not enough for a separate article as it stands. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 09:19, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep I added some basic historical information and references and I think the article satisfies GNG. I'm not totally opposed to merging to Standon, Hertfordshire if people think the additional context would benefit the reader, but that is a conversation that can happen outside of AfD. 24.151.116.12 (talk) 17:09, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * If the AFD is closed as keep, then there will have to be consensus to merge, it can't just be boldly done if this is closed as "keep". I agree maybe it should be merged, I was tempted to say that but because of the tertiary sources I though it might be OK as a separate article.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 18:04, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree with you on all points mentioned. 24.151.116.12 (talk) 18:23, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for expanding it, if the AFD is closed as "no consensus" or something like keep but a merge can be done, then it could still probably be boldly merged. I would be happy with a close of "keep" or "merge", or similar.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 19:12, 21 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - I'm not sure this is the most reliable source, but here is a paper about it: Brown, J. A. The Standon Hospice, Transactions of the East Hertfordshire Archaeological Society, Volume 1, East Hertfordshire Archaeological Society Stephen Austin & Sons, 1901 p289-291.

 * Keep enabled by expansion and sourcing of the article during AfD.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:06, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - per expanded sourcing currently in article.Icewhiz (talk) 07:23, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep -- a preceptor of the Hospitallers is the equivalent of a priory in other orders. We normally regard all pre-Reformation British monasteries as notable.  The article (though short) is well-sourced.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:00, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
