Fails WP:GNG as the only notability asserted for the structure is its former ownership by David & Victoria Beckham. It is otherwise unremarkable. As an alternative to deletion, merge into David Beckham. Geoff | Who, me? 22:32, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep — passes WP:GNG because:
    • "Significant coverage" — covered in detailed by multiple article in UK national press and magazines.
    • "Reliable" — in published sources like The Times, Ideal Home, etc.
    • "Independent of the subject" — the above sources are independent.
    • "Presumed" — the house is well-known, in the UK at least, and is Grade II listed.
It is also associated with Victoria Beckham, not just David Beckham — merging into just the latter would be sexist, IMHO, it would need to be in both these articles. Therefore keep, IMHO. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 22:49, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Although the sources say it's a listed building I can't find it in a search for listed or de-listed buildings, and very few houses built as recently as 1930 are - sources could have confused it with Rowneybury Cottage. Peter James (talk) 16:22, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it looks like it is actually the older Rowneybury Cottage by the entrance to the estate that is Grade II listed, well spotted. I have updated the article with brief information on this. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 21:04, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, a more appropriate target might be Pishiobury. Coolabahapple (talk) 10:19, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Satisfies GNG. There are listings for Pishiobury of which this is part: [1]. James500 (talk) 12:07, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Note that the house is definitely not Grade II listed. Nearby Rowneybury Cottage is indeed listed. Rowneybury House, however, is not. It isn't true to say, incidentally, that very few houses of this age are listed. Hundreds of interwar houses are. But not this one. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:26, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Jonathan Bowen and WP:GNG. Adding that the continued interest, not just at acquisition by Victoria Beckham, was important to me. gidonb (talk)
  • Weak Keep Just barely passes the GNG based on available sources. Chetsford (talk) 14:01, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
