Every building just lists the category, HB number, coordinates, and the name. Most of the names are things similar to "Garlieston,11 South Street". There isn't much information to be gained from this article. Beasting123 (talk) 02:38, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• This is only one of hundreds of such lists in Category:Listed buildings in the United Kingdom. It seems only to make sense to discuss all of them instead of one of them. --Bsherr (talk) 06:27, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: I agree with Bsherr's note above: I was surprised to find this detailed structure of list articles across many areas exists here, but insofar as it does, it would be unreasonable to consider creating an omission gap for any particular area (which includes some Category A as well as B buildings) through an individual AfD. (Coincidentally, attention to these List articles may even provide some framework for Wiki Loves Monuments images of the important public buildings during the month to come...)

• Keep. Satisfies LISTN, listed buildings being notable as a group. There might be scope for merging some lists if they are short enough to be merged, but that is about it. James500 (talk) 08:56, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• I'm pretty sure I created these lists back in 2012 because someone requested me to add them for Wiki Loves Monuments. Looking at the lists were also indexed for the Monuments Database (tool used for Wiki Loves Monuments), but it dropped out. Not sure why. Usually lists of historic buildings start like this and get expanded over time. I wonder why nothing much happened on these lists. Not editors from Scotland noticed them? I dug some more into the configuration and looks like the renaming of {{HB Scotland row}} and maybe some other things are messing up the indexing. Created phab:T203348 for that.

• Comment – No opinion, but I do think that if this is kept, it should be cut down only to actual historic buildings and renamed something along the lines of "List of historic buildings in Sorbie, Dumfries and Galloway". Redditaddict69 15:54, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • All listed buildings are historic. That is why they are listed. They are also notable under NGEO. James500 (talk) 05:44, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Redditaddict69: see Listed building#Scotland. Multichill (talk) 15:57, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• @Multichill: @James500: - But if there were a way to cut it down even further, or maybe even merge this with another related article, is what I'm suggesting. Redditaddict69 19:36, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Part of a clearly established and full category. All listed buildings are notable per WP:GEOFEAT, so any one of these could technically have an article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:48, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Sensible list-article, a member of Category:Lists of listed buildings in Dumfries and Galloway. If you are a deletionist, you should want to keep this list-article, towards forestalling creation of articles for each of the listed buildings. --Doncram (talk) 06:53, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
