- Merge to Gateshead - not notable enough outside the local area to merit its own article. Walton monarchist89 20:38, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

- Comment Is the article as it stands even accurate? I've consulted maps which show a road called Leam Lane, but no suburb by that name. Incidentally, there is a biography of Catherine Cookson called The Girl From Leam Lane - apparently she was born there. AdorableRuffian 16:42, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Gateshead council website lists a ward called Wardley and Leam Lane. Entering NZ295607 into the OS's get-a-map shows a place called Leam Lane, with a pool & a library, near a Roman road, per the article. Google finds "Fewster Square" per the article.The census lists a population of 9000 in a ward called Leam which is where the article says it should be. I think we'll just have to be eventualists on this one. Vandalism is not a reason for deletion. Mr Stephen 22:40, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
