This article does not cite any notable sources and uses the stats and articles for instead both nearby Kingsbury and Hurley. It would be best either deleted and mentioned under Kingsbury or Hurley. Also no real notable schools churches amenities history anything about this place... DragonofBatley ( talk) 11:22, 6 May 2022 (UTC) reply

  • I have found some coverage in RS. Survey of English place names, which comes directly from The Place Names of Warwickshire. I'd say this was borderline WP:SIGCOV. Boynamedsue ( talk) 07:37, 8 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per sources provided by Boynamedsue, I think and OS settlement which has coverage on its name origin etc meets our inclusion criteria though perhaps only barely. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 22:06, 8 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, though only borderline. I think it is reasonable to keep, as there are only two reliable sources (OS and the etymology stuff), but it is a settlement in an English-speaking country which will very likely be of interest to some of our readers at some point. -- Boynamedsue ( talk) 07:13, 9 May 2022 (UTC) reply

  • delete We need something better than maps for this. The name shows up all the way back to the first series Ordinance Survey maps, but what they show is a few buildings at the same location as the current farm on the spot, indistinguishable from numerous other sprinkles of names and dots which are more obviously farms and estates. Over in the USA we've had numerous problems with names on maps being interpreted as town/villages/etc. when further investigation showed they could be almost anything (see WP:GNIS for a list of examples); given that this situation parallels those almost exactly, I think we need other sources which talk about the place.

    Well aren't the Survey of English Place-Names enough? A lot more than just maps. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 21:28, 25 May 2022 (UTC) reply
I looked at both sources and neither says what the spot was; also, it appears they are referring to a different spot anyway. Mangoe ( talk) 04:35, 26 May 2022 (UTC) reply
