Notability issue tagged since 2016. Sources are mentions in guidebooks. The presence of the Pub on the St Hilary, Vale of Glamorgan page could seem enough or be expanded there if necessary. The building is a Grade II Listed building (the lowest rank, for special interest buildings; buildings dating from before 1700 seem easily listed as such...) darthbunk pakt dunft 22:24, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: There are around 350,000 Grade II listed buildings in the UK. I can see four (including a Red telephone box) from our bedroom window. This pub may or may not meet GNG but it certainly shouldn't purely because it is listed. If it was Grade II* or Grade I, that would be a different matter.

  • Indeed; it's sometimes hard to convey to people in other countries—where "historic" status is usually more carefully guarded—just how freely listed building status is handed out in the UK. To put things in perspective, this pub is listed at the same level of historic importance as this fence or these gateposts. The pub may or may not be noteworthy—I don't know enough about the area to judge—but a grade II listing means absolutely nothing in terms of determining notability. ‑ Iridescent 22:53, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I tend to agree, but the Dutch have managed to pursuade English WP that ALL Rijksmonumenten are individually notable, and there are over 61,000 of them. It's the same with US national & state listings, which in many places automatically include all buildings before dates like 1880. Johnbod (talk) 13:21, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
