For similar reasons discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Westbury Nernewtes; a former manor that, according to the listed sources (this one in particular) no longer has any extant manorial property. No indications that this particular location or the associated manorial title is in any way notable. Drm310 (talk) 21:11, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- For exactly the same reasons as the other one, a title that doesn't have land is in no way notable, and fails WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:30, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Whether or not it currently has land no bearing on its notability. We should be asking, was it ever notable, perhaps in its heyday? --Pontificalibus (talk) 16:33, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete The reference provided by Drm310 shows that there was such a manor in 1066, but it was absorbed into neighboring manors many centuries ago. The only current usage seems to be that someone has purchased the title "Lord and Lady of Pightley Manor, Somerset".[1] IMO there is not enough information about the one-time manor to write an article or establish its notability, and the existence of the lordship/ladyship titles proves nothing at all. It appears to be of great interest to User:Pightley (see their userpage) but is of no interest to Wikipedia. --MelanieN (talk) 03:44, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment There does appear to be a neighborhood in Somerset County known as "Pightley Somerset".[2][3] Maybe somebody could create an article about this placename if they feel so inclined, and it could mention the manor as a source of the name. However, I think this article needs to be blown up and any neighborhood article started afresh. --MelanieN (talk) 15:17, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
