Brockford Street, Suffolk, UK[edit]

~~Can anyone say non notable street? The article gives it away by including things such as "not much happens there" and "The only facilities in Brockford street are a post box and a garage."~~
This article has been severely cleaned-up since nomination and I have found out that it is actually a hamlet and not a street. Please discuss accordingly. Tavix (talk) 02:36, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article has POV and original sources; It's probaly not notable due to the fact it has no references --Antonio Lopez ^(talk) 02:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete looks like some kid who lives nearby wrote it just for fun. "Nothing much happens there" pretty much sums up what we should do with the article. Ohconfucius (talk) 05:50, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, doesn't seem to be notable, POV, prose reads like someone's cat wrote it. Keep per Mazca et alia, article has been cleaned up and all my objections have been addressed. -- B.D.Mills (T, C) 07:13, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - its a village / hamlet unfortunately not a street see [1] I'd be in favour of delete but unfortunately I'm not sure if prevailing consensus is that every damn village is inherently notable? -Hunting dog (talk) 07:21, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed some of silly bits and stubified it -Hunting dog (talk) 11:00, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - it's a village, not a street. There seems to be consensus that verifiable, legally recognized, populated settlements are inherently notable. This is certainly one of these. Now that the article has been cleaned up (thanks Hunting dog!) it really seems that this is keepable. ~ mazca ^{t | c} 20:24, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note that this place has no legal existence. It is an area smaller than a parish, the smallest legally recognized area in the UK so I'm not sure where you're getting that this is legally recognized.

Strong keep All verifiable places are inherently notable. Thanks to recent cleanup, it's a perfectly legitimate stub. Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 20:37, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Mazca and Juliancolton.--S Marshall (talk) 00:04, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Create a list of the more notable hamlets in the Mid Suffolk article and merge content there. Subdivisions of local authority units need to have additional secondary sourcing to merit a stand-alone article. --Polaron | Talk 02:59, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Hamlets are notable if distinct, as this one is. DGG (talk) 03:02, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. A place isn't a hamlet if it's not distinct. So you're effectivel saying that anything that has a name is notable. --Polaron | Talk 03:10, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possible keep -- As a hamlet it may be notable, but it is difficult to judge this when it is only a stub. It would be helpful, if it was stated what parish it is in: do we have an article on that parish? Peterkingiron (talk) 18:41, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
