[edit] Newgale, Pembrokeshire

Erm, a stretch of beach? I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's nn. Rory096 04:35, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep - maybe beach is a strange word for this place but it still a geographic area that seems notable. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MarsRover (talk • contribs) .
    • Comment. Well yeah, Pembrokeshire is notable, but this beach/geographic location/whatever it is alone isn't. Also note that "Newgale" doesn't appear in that article at all. --Rory096 05:01, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
      • My bad, there really is a beach there not just rocks. --MarsRover 05:43, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Legitimate topic. Category:Beaches is well populated. Osomec 06:00, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment. It looks like it's extremely underpopulated, actually, considering Newgale is the only one in its subcat. --Rory096 06:03, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment "Beaches in Wales" is very underpopulated but there are quite a few in some of the other subcats, particularly the United States. Rhion 08:40, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
  • keep - real place with 35000 ghits (for Newgale+Pembrokeshire). Well-known surfing place, too, by the looks of some of those hits. Grutness...wha? 06:28, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Tentative merge. Pembrokeshire seems to suffer the same problem as Lancashire: tons of "village in ..." stubs. However, much of the Pembrokeshire coast is the property of the National Trust, part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and/or on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. If you poke around on the national park's webpage about the coastal path the interactive map thing yields up (reluctantly - I imagine it works better with IE) a fairly sizeable article on Newgale Sands which says nothing about surfing but instead explains its geology, a drowned forest (no self-respecting west Wales beach lacks a drowned forest), a washed-away pub, and describes it as the western end of the Landsker Line. Okay, so skip the pub and we have the bones of an article there. This isn't the only Pembrokeshire article we have which is barely a stub: Barafundle is probably more well-known, but Penbryn is another, and we don't even have a Broad Haven yet. But if it's not possible to expand this article much further than the notes above, I think it may well be better to merge it into Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Pembrokeshire Coast Path, or National Trust property in Pembrokeshire (currently doesn't exist), depending on which of those it fits into.

  • Keep Real Place. Jcuk 11:00, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment. My house is a real place too, but we don't have an article on it ;) --Rory096 20:57, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep article is poor as is, but clearly a keeper per User:Grutness and User:Telsa. Angus McLellan (Talk) 11:36, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep geography = notable. --Eivindt@c 22:03, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: article is very stubby, but notability is established. --BrownHairedGirl (talk • contribs) 14:58, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
