[edit] Bettiscombe

All that stuff about personal experience should be deleted. Does anyone know if the village of just 63 people even exist? Kilo-Lima 12:23, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep as verifiable stub on an English village.. Google maps (which seem to stop at New Jersey) notwithstanding, streetmap.co.uk has heard of it. Tonywalton  | Talk 13:23, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment I've now removed the ghost story (was it coincidence that that was added on Hallowe'en, I wonder) and reverted it to the stub as last edited by Grutness. Tonywalton  | Talk 13:32, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

...and added a map and some NPOV about the legend, which is widely verifiable on Google. Tonywalton  | Talk 14:01, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy keep per Tony's changes. Marskell 14:59, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as rewritten by Tony. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 15:06, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment I hardly rewrote it, just deleted a long personal anecdote! Tonywalton  | Talk

Comment; that's right, but the sentence you added about the ghost story is really NPOV and encyclopedic. A small but good edit. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 15:12, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

• Comment I have found a reference to the place in mapquest [1]. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 15:12, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as real place with real communities of interest. Well done to Tony Walton for cleaning it up. Capitalistroadster 17:44, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all real settlements. CalJW 17:58, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, all real places are notable. Carioca 22:53, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
