This appears to be just another name for Woolaston. The same applies to Woolaston Slade and Woolaston Woodside. If I'm wrong, please let me know. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 05:58, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - You may or may not be right, but if you don't know, you might first do some research or put a note on the article talk page inviting others to advise you rather than simply apply to delete. "appears to be" and "If I'm wrong, please let me know" seems an insubstantial basis for seeking deletion. Opbeith (talk) 14:10, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For little-trafficed articles like these, a comment on the talk page would be ignored for at least six months, assuming if anyone ever commented on it. I know there's no time limit here, but I'd like to see something happen rather than nothing. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 17:57, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The Ordnance Survey mappers seem to think that these are distinct places. Deor (talk) 15:00, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. These are districts within the scattered village of Woolaston. The names are rarely used outside the village and its immediate environs, and the article contents (such as they are) would be better placed within the main article at Woolaston, which already contains information on other hamlets in the area, such as Stroat.

Weak keep. Borderline as to whether they can do considered separate settlements, but if the Ordnance Survey is naming them separately, we'll probably have to go with that. Failing that, redirect all to Woolaston. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 20:17, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge -- The article on Woolaston calls it a hamlet. WE are unlikely ever to get more than a short stub, so that it is better to concentrate on the article on the parish of which it is part. Peterkingiron (talk) 20:08, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
