A fictional house that doesn't seem to have much in terms of actual coverage. I'd suggest a redirect to The Wind in the Willows. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 16:19, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Has your BEFORE search looked at the Google Scholar results? I see several that mention Toad Hall--what's your thought on if any of them constitute SIGCOV? Jclemens (talk) 18:28, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of them seem to be passing mentions about its role in the book. Some may be promising, but I can't access them and thus can't determine their potential aid in notability. This book has some good stuff on Toad Hall, as does this one, but the rest of it I can't properly gauge. I may have missed things cause there is way more analysis on this book than I expected, but I don't think there's enough right now. Has one ever considered Magneton?

Oops, the two links that you posted both go to the same book. What's the second one? The coverage in Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows:A Children's Classic at 100 does seem pretty extensive. Toughpigs (talk) 19:09, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - puzzled by this nomination. It is a highly notable fictional house, as I think is already demonstrated by the current coverage. I am quite certain more could be added. What is the policy argument for deletion? Is there one? KJP1 (talk) 19:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. Have added some text, cites and four more book/journal sources, including the one mentioned above, which discuss the hall, and its meaning, in detail. Plenty more can easily be identified. KJP1 (talk) 08:38, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It does seem to have significant coverage in secondary sources. In particular, there is coverage, cited on the page, of various forms of dispute and chatter about which real building might have inspired the fictional one. Such source material is mostly lighthearted, but that does not reduce the significance of coverage for our purposes of determining notability. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:57, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per those above. The fictional location has been reproduced in numerous media. Compare Wayne Manor, Sanctum Sanctorum (Marvel Comics). BD2412 T 03:16, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because of KJP1's excellent additions, per WP:HEY. Toughpigs (talk) 03:25, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a terrific article, with good images and good sourcing. — Maile (talk) 00:21, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
