[edit] Arbour square

Arbour square (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Contested PROD. No evidence of notability given. When DGG contested the PROD he/she commented "probably notable". Surely the emphasis on those contesting the PROD is to prove it? Roleplayer (talk) 11:08, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I sometimes deprod on the basis that it needs a more general discussion, by people who know more than I. Deprod doesnt necessarily mean keep--though it seems to here. . DGG (talk) 22:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • keep there is evidence of notability right there in the article - Grade 1 and 2 listed buildings, unchanged since 1830. Letting this in does not open any floodgates.Filceolaire (talk) 13:04, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong keep - a well referenced article about a Grade II listed square - a Grade II listing officially means that the buildings are of "special architectural or historical interest", i.e. are notable. nancy (talk) 14:02, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep - Just in its historical preservation interests indicates notability. Historic references exist and a couple are in the article. --Oakshade (talk) 17:53, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - I just added the IOE references to emphasis the listed building notability. The Police Station has notability too, although not yet mentioned in the article, apart from a citation, there was a squatting incident for which I found lots of references.

  • Keep. Grade II listed buildings are roughly equivalent to the National Register of Historic Places on this side of the pond, so these buildings and the square surely must be notable. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 21:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
