A street in Darras Hall, Northumberland. Whether it exists or not, I fear this is a street too far, an entry for Darras Hall, a suburb of Ponteland, would be more useful. DonnanZ (talk) 18:49, 29 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Google maps confirms that Windsor Place is a street in Darras Hall, but the real question is for RFD, not RFV. I am moving this there. Kiwima (talk) 00:17, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Delete as per our rather recently revised WT:CFI and nom DonnanZ. According to Google Maps it is "Windsor Place" and yes an entry Darras Hall would be better. My revised personal thoughts on place names suggest any reasonably permanent street name, etc. in an English-speaking area should suffice; then once an approved place name with three cites comes along, the "placeholder" name can be deleted. This allows recording of possible new names/words in use. Cheers and thanks to the two editors above. Facts707 (talk) 01:24, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
If it is Windsor Place, then Windsor isn't its correct name, and has no place here. There are a few roads in this area named Staines Road (in Twickenham, Hounslow and Sunbury); they all lead towards the town of Staines, the roads themselves shouldn't be called just Staines. If you asked a cab driver in Ponteland to take you to Windsor, where would he take you? To Windsor in Berkshire, about 300 miles away? DonnanZ (talk) 09:11, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Delete, in large part because of our recent CFI vote on place names. Imetsia (talk) 22:13, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Deleted. And my god, was this the only nominated sense?! DAVilla 23:40, 7 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
