Dartmouth Friary[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I found no significant coverage for this monastery. In its current state, the article only says "Dartmouth Friary was a friary in Devon, England". Fails WP:N. SL93 (talk) 00:46, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~. "Dartmouth Friary was a friary in Devon, England." Fantastic. Reliable sourcing and historical accuracy? Not fantastic. According to a website called Triposo (albeit probably not a reliable source), the place called Dartmouth Friary probably wasn't even a friary. Check it out: [1]. —Theodore!

~~Delete~~ This monastery existed and I would not oppose recreating the article if significant coverage can be found. However, all that I could find was a passing mention in this book, which is inadequate even for a start class article. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 02:33, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The source mentioned by Theodore! has no credibility whatsoever in my estimation, though I have no objection to it being brought to this discussion. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 02:38, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Subject of an important controversy around the role of mendicants, and the most sustained attempt to bring a friary into the vast diocese of Exeter. JASpencer (talk) 22:52, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Any offline/online sources for this? SL93 (talk) 22:53, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- It may be shortlived, but that does not prevent ther subject being an interesting contribution to the hisotry of the mendicant orders in England. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:39, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Sources are hard to find, but I've found it mentioned in a few books and have dramatically expanded the article – it's quite an interesting story, in fact. The only questions are whether the title is correct (none of the sources actually call it this), and whether it would be better included as the early history of an article on St Saviour's Church, Dartmouth, if anyone cares to write that. —SMALL JIM 16:44, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - now meets WP:GNG following great work by Smalljim. The Whispering Wind (talk) 17:42, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
