Seems to be an unremarkable pub and this article is more or less an advert for it. After removing a substantial amount of WP:OR from national census returns, and general info about pubs/oaks, the remainder has little evidence of reliable, independent published sources (we have one entry in a book about pubs in the area, and a number of historical directory listings of owners/occupiers). The building itself is not listed, therefore unremarkable too. Fails WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 19:18, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - if it were listed, even only at grade II, I would have some sympathy, but without architectural merit you don't have a reason for keeping it. Le petit fromage (talk) 07:27, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Delete - without wider significance outside the local area, and it's not a Listed building. Its claim "[second to] last pub in Wales" apparently means one of the last pubs you'd see leaving Wales due to its proximity to the English border, but that doesn't give it real significance and is pretty incidental. –146.199.151.33 (talk) 15:26, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I've looked around and there really is nothing notable about this pub. As said above, something like listed building status would guarantee a keep but it doesn't even have that. - Sitush (talk) 23:36, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
