The result was speedy keep. SNOW Keep and a procedural close. Consider merging but AfD is really not the venue for this. Seddon ^talk 14:33, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be merged into Yorkshire, since most of the information in the History section of that article is in this article. JTZegers (talk) 00:45, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – I see no problem with having a separate article that covers the history in much greater depth than can or should be done as part of the Yorkshire article. The prehistory section, for example, is far longer than would be suitable if merged. However, as the section in the Yorkshire article should be a summary of the History article I think that both articles need some improvement and reworking so that they both follow the same basic format in terms of headings for themes covered. Also I am not sure why has it been proposed for deletion rather than using the {{merge}} template. EdwardUK (talk) 03:35, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this is a very good article, this is a WP:SIZESPLIT --Devokewater @ 10:20, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If most of the information in this article were in the history section of the Yorkshire article, then you'd have an argument for merging. This just looks like a WP:SIZESPLIT to me. YorkshireLad ✿ ^(talk) 10:27, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep There is a ton of literature on the history of Yorkshire, establishing it beyond doubt as a distinct topic. The article on Yorkshire as a whole should be broader than just the history. Richard Nevell (talk) 12:38, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
