Disputed

There seems no evidence that any "settlement" exists other than the house and its estate buildings, including farms, which are covered in an existing article Sezincote House. Most of the references cited are either dead links or to gazeteer entries that merely confirm the existence of the house and estate. Latitude and longitude are claimed to 6 decimal places, which is a precision of about 11cm. No settlement can be that size. Also in the infobox an area is quoted, but there is no source to back this up in the article. I suggest this new title should just be redirected to the established article at Sezincote House. --94.197.154.1 (talk) 18:05, 31 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

The coords should perhaps be trimmed, this is the precision Grid Reference Finder gives. The area in the Infobox is for the parish and from City Population. Material for the estate should perhaps be moved to this article. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:11, 31 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
I have changed the coordinates to a more meaningful precision, and removed the figure for the area. The reference you cite is a dead link. --94.197.154.1 (talk) 10:34, 8 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
I have restored the area, its for the parish and is from City Population. I would also like to dispute you're removal of "settlement" since it is an [OS settlement http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?form=basic&q=%28anything%29&location=Sez&go=Search...] the normal rule is that settlement and parish are covered in the same article and the house would be in a different one, I've never seen a house and settlement described together.

I've restored "settlement" with the Geograph ref. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:42, 15 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Please wait until a consensus has been reached. The Geograph reference is unreliable as it is merely a search result in a website made of user-supplied content. --94.196.55.226 (talk) 10:36, 21 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
This was how it was created and how it was until you removed it, if there is no consensus we revert back to how it was. If there's no consensus we generally revert back to how it was rather than keeping the challenged change, WP:NOCON. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:53, 21 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Please read WP:WNTRMT - the template should not be removed until the issue is resolved. --94.196.55.226 (talk) 13:13, 21 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Sorry my bad but I have restored "settlement" which you removed when you restored the template which is a bit odd given that appears to be the only thing that is disputed. Crouch, Swale (talk) 14:18, 21 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Area

edit

Another question: the area quoted as the area of the parish is 5.830km², according to citypopulation.de - is this a reliable source? The estate website www.sezincote.co.uk gives the area of the estate as 3500 acres, which is 14.164km². Does this mean the parish is only a small area within the estate, or is one of these sources wrong? --94.196.55.226 (talk) 20:45, 21 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

A Vision of Britain through Time gives the area of the parish (which its boundaries seem to the the same) as 1,438 acres in 1961 which is 5.81938km² so either the estate covers a far wider area of that is wrong. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:37, 21 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
And the ONS GSS gives the area as 582.56 hectarage so is this still in dispute? Can I remove the tag at the top of the article given otherwise it seems the only other thing being disputed is the settlement status. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:16, 23 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
