- Prehen House (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Unsourced article stub on a house in Northern Ireland that is rather old, but for which there is no indication of notability. --Finngall talk 19:22, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into Prehen (which article itself could use some help). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vafthrudnir (talk • contribs) 20:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and expand. The article is in bad shape but the building appears to be historically notable. There is a page about it at the Northern Ireland Tourist Board site[1] and another one at the Derry City European Heritage Open Days site[2]. Both explicitly assert historical significance. GoogleBooks returns several hits, at least a few of which appear relevant[3]. It seems that a bit more digging will yield more sources. Nsk92 (talk) 23:06, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and expand per above. This appears to be an historic house and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board considers it one of north west Northern Ireland's "most historic houses". This is what happens when and article is AfD'd so soon after its creation.--Oakshade (talk) 07:08, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Question So how long are we supposed to let unsourced sub-stub articles with no assertion of notability sit? I let it go for two weeks--if it had been a person instead of a house, it would have been a slam-dunk A7 speedy. --Finngall talk 07:21, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Finngall. Stifle (talk) 19:21, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Based on what part of Finngall's argument?--Oakshade (talk) 19:38, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That it's unsourced and does not indicate notability. Stifle (talk) 08:37, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Being considered one of the most historic houses in the region and a source showing that is not an indication of notability? --Oakshade (talk) 15:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That it's unsourced and does not indicate notability. Stifle (talk) 08:37, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Based on what part of Finngall's argument?--Oakshade (talk) 19:38, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as notable historic building. DGG (talk) 03:08, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into the Prehen article. This seems to me a win-win for all: The information is preserved, the Prehen article is improved, and if the Prehen House material gets expanded in the future, it can always be broken out into its own article again. --AnnaFrance (talk) 19:43, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
