The Commercial, Herne Hill

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not a notable pub. The only independent reference is a paragraph blurb in a listing of many London pubs, and I don't think it is a credible reference for the claim that the pub is "of special historic interest". power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 05:38, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

The Commercial, Herne Hill is an important historic landmark, dating back to the development of the local area around Herne Hill rail station in the late 19th Century. A page for this pub is therefore important in this wider context of documenting the history of the local area. Cantabrigian7 (talk) 12:39, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

New independent references for the pub have been added, including the fact that it is locally-listed as being of architectural or historic interest by Lambeth Council. Cantabrigian7 (talk) 17:48, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

The Commercial continues to be a fine London example of an inter-war pub (often rebuilt by breweries to increase size and appeal more to families and particularly women), of which increasingly few examples remain. Cantabrigian7 (talk) 14:56, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article was created in its entirety by user cantabrigian7 who appears to develop classic pub articles. It is well referenced but I don't think it is notable, the references mainly providing information about the subject but not saying why it is notable. It isn't a listed building of national significance but has been locally listed. Szzuk (talk) 17:34, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. The pub is a) Locally-listed by Lambeth Council as a heritage asset of architectural or historic interest, b) Cited by CAMRA as one of only 133 pubs in Greater London with a pub interior of special historic interest, c) has a documented history dating back to 1876.

 * Keep Article quality, sources, and local historic recognition suffice. --Doncram (talk) 23:23, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
