It's a roundabout. The only references I can find are about road accidents that have happened on it - that can't be enough for the GNG can it? JMWt ( talk) 19:31, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

- Hi
JMWt, it really depends on the focus. If the focus is a busy and dangerous roundabout, where many accidents happen, we get a bit in the direction of notability. If mentioned as a random location where one or more accidents happened not so much.

- OK found this item. It counts a bit I suppose. It talks about how the roundabout is backed up after an accident. This one is more of the random type. This is insufficient and the next items in Google News are less good. Still looking for an alternative to deletion. gidonb ( talk) 03:05, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. As a roundabout it doesn't seem to be notable, but the article mentions it as a historic crossing point between counties and there might be some notability in that history if you can find it, but it'll require more detailed searches than I've managed in a couple of minutes on google.

- leaning delete If you are going to claim that something is "historic", you need to provide some evidence. I'm having extreme trouble just getting past random juxtapositions of the two words; the best I found simply established it as a placename, but didn't describe it or even locate it.

- Redirect to Poole. Do not keep per WP:GNG and WP:GEOROAD and do not delete per WP:V, WP:ATD and WP:CHEAP. gidonb ( talk) 03:18, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
