631:: The article Verandah, Isle of Man has notability as it is a well known part of the Isle of Man TT Course. It is also important to the history of the Isle of Man TT Races after a fatal accident to a competitor that resulted in the Isle of Man TT races losing its World Championship status. It is also a part of the A18 Snaefell Mountain Road which is an important major road in the Isle of Man and therefore has notability and also has encyclopaedic value. In 2007, I rewrote the Knowledge article for the Snaefell Mountain Course and removed a long list of names of corners as it had been plagiarised from a publication about the Isle of Man TT races including a number of inaccuracies and incorrect information. The current format of the Knowledge article has a much improved structure and information can be easily added when it becomes available and due to its success has been translated into other languages on Knowledge. To return to the previous 2007 format for the Snaefell Mountain Course is not a viable alternative. I created separate articles for each of the more famous parts of the Isle of Man TT Course. However, other contributors have added extra articles and then abandoned them without trying to extend the articles or improving them. I have had problems with editing conflicts of many Isle of Man TT articles including incorrect information and problems with editing style. It may not be understood by editors reviewing many articles about the Isle of Man TT Races it is difficult to find and research information and present it in a way to provide encyclopaedic value or to conform with Knowledge editing standards and rules. Many of the articles that you refer to have been deliberately written in a style that is low-key in respect to the fatal accidents to competitors during the Isle of Man TT Races and Manx Grand Prix Races. Also, there has been personal problems, editing conflicts and problems with trying to maintain the low-key style with contributors and editors in regard to the Knowledge article the list of fatal accidents to competitors on the Snaefell Mountain course. I have tried to maintain a certain style for these Isle of Man TT articles and there has been previous problems of multiple contributions by different editors and some Isle of Man TT articles have been subject to a Knowledge deletion policy and then later successfully reinstated. I am currently in the process of a complete rewrite of the main Knowledge Isle of Man TT and the proposed amalgamation/deletion process is unhelpful. Agljones 21:47, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

I already figured that out; articles can have more than one infobox. Where there is a village article existing, it needs a section developing, deletion is not the way forward. As stated, I don't have the time to do it; I can envisage the format of improvements, but it's unlikely to eventuate with the

Therefore the main vantage points should have searchable separate articles, IMO. The main structure has already been established, so it would be counter-productive to delete a few - the three which have been proposed for deletion would rate at 11-20 on a scale of importance starting at 1, but I would
