Non-notable post office. One Google Scholar result, one Internet Archive result, thirteen Google Books mentions. None of these indicate notability of the post office, with there at most being passing mentions of it. Current references are to the Royal Mail website (indicating opening times only) and a photograph of the previous building on geograph.org.

delete not seeing the notability of the building or office. Mangoe (talk) 21:54, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You do have good point, perhaps it should be deleted. Neko12345 (talk) 18:46, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect - I think there has been coverage in the news in the past due to it being the most remote post office in the UK, but I cannot find anything substantially about it other then mentions in coverage of Foula. As there is a photograph of a post office (of a previous building I believe) and very brief mention of the island having a post office, then a redirect to Foula might be worthwhile, though I am not 100% convinced. Whatever the case, I do not see that there is enough coverage for a standalone article. Dunarc (talk) 21:30, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No notability established and this is essentially just an article for a local business which while no doubt important historically to the residents of Foula does not meet GNG Coldupnorth (talk) 11:27, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Foula where it is discussed (including in an image!) as an WP:ATDR. Perfectly fine as a redirect even if it is not notable for purposes of having its own article. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 18:26, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
