Merge of Vine Hall, Oxford

[edit]

I see that Vine Hall has been proposed for merge here, but nobody has started the discussion. I certainly think that it is not notable enough for a separate article. My doubts about merging it to Peckwater Quadrangle is that I do not see that article as notable enough either. I think both should be merged to Christ Church, Oxford. --Bduke (Discussion) 02:23, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Christ Church, Oxford is already quite long and there seems to be plenty to write about the Peckwater Quadrangle and its history. I think Vine Hall, Oxford is also notable by itself, but it would be better to describe it as a section here. I still haven't found if Vine Hall became a part of the Quadrangle or was torn town. --Apoc2400 (talk) 10:42, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Vine Hall seems to be doing fine as an article. None of the medieval buildings which went to make up Peckwater Quad survive. It underwent major renovation in the seventeenth century and then, at the beginning of the 18th, was demolished and completely rebuilt in classical style - well illustrated by Fritz Saalfeld's photo in the article. Exploratory archaeological investigation has revealed remnants of the precursor buildings. --luke (talk) 04:17, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
