West Lea
This one needs confirmation, but according to comments I've received from someone who says she lives there, "The Village of West Lea" is in fact the Westlea housing estate in Seaham. If this is confirmed, it falls below the notability level for an article. Google isn't being very helpful, using both spellings interchangeably and giving no definite indication of whether it's an estate or a village. It's possible, of course, thatthere are two separate places, but unless an actual village can be confirmed, this should go. Grutness...wha?  23:08, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep, I think. Both Yahoo! Local and the Ordnance Survey provide information about the place, with Yahoo! Local calling it a town. The community has a primary school. However, MSN Maps doesn't recognize the location. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 00:47, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ordnance Survey recognises it as West Lea in the location given.  Map shows what appears to be a housing estate, as does Google Earth.  However, use of word "village" is often ambiguous (e.g. estates built around coalmines were often referred to as pit villages).  On balance, I think I will go with User:Grutness's contact and say this is not what is normally thought of as a village; hence delete  Emeraude 14:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
