 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Promotional article with no notability demonstrated. Article creator admits new organisation - though developed from a long established one - so secondary material is scarce. Some of the "secondary" sources added some are PR and/or WP:ROUTINE. I think this may be WP:TOOSOON. Suggest a selective merge to North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers. buidhe 15:55, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge a short summary (one paragraph) to NEIMME as Buidhe rightly suggests. NEIMME is a well-established institute and a valuable resource for the study of mining in Britain (much appreciated by this Wikipedian). The 'Common Room' is an innovation within NEIMME and may well be short-lived. It is worthy enough but its independent notability is far from established.

 * Merge as suggested above. --Bduke (talk) 02:08, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
 * You folk are hard to please! As article creator I disagree that the article should be merged because the Common Room may be short lived - where is the evidence for that? The Common Room is not an innovation within NEIMME - without the Common Room NEIMME's assets that provide the "valuable resource for the study of mining in Britain" would have been sold and probably dispersed. To reduce this article to  a paragraph in the NEIMME article does not seem appropriate. Mining007 (talk) 12:51, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
