Queen anne pattern proofs

Article does not have enough notability to warrant it's own article. Maybe a section in the Queen Anne article would be appropriate. Funnyfarmofdoom (talk) 02:17, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete, topic is too specific to be notable, no references. JIP | Talk 07:15, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The articles Queen anne pattern proof coinage and Queen anne halfpenny should be mentioned. Created by the same user, they appear to cover the same topic. There are some references, though not properly formatted: "Peck" is presumably C. W. Peck, English Copper, Tin and Bronze Coins in the British Museum 1558-1958, while "silver coinage by Alan Rayner" must be P. Alan Rayner, English silver coinage from 1649. Could be merged into the Halfpenny (British pre-decimal coin) and Farthing (British coin) articles? Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 10:38, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Merge - the other mentioned pages cover similar material and could be merged into a couple of paragraphs that could then be transcluded into the Queen Anne article, and Halfpenny (British pre-decimal coin) and Farthing (British coin) Brunnian (talk) 13:51, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. No sources. No search results for the title. The article reads like patient nonsense and needs to be rewritten from scratch. Whatever salvageable information is in there, it's probably already available elsewhere (Farthing (British coin)#Farthings of Anne and of the kings of the House of Hanover, Anne of Great Britain, etc). This argument also applies to Queen anne pattern proof coinage and Queen anne halfpenny. — Rankiri (talk) 17:07, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
