The result was keep. While the keep arguments are a bit thin - it's usually useful if you actually show the sources - some of them have been shown and went uncontested. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:23, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• It was established in 1869. There will certainly be plenty about it in printed material from the nineteenth century. Notability does not have to be known to Google.Rathfelder (talk) 18:31, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Rathfelder and I are probably going to say here pretty much what we said a couple of months ago at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marsden Building Society. Mccapra (talk) 19:10, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Note Two sources are listed here, "The Story of the Mansfield Building Society", Nottingham Observer, 12(94), 1964, [54]-[55] and "A Short History of the Mansfield Building Society", [Mansfield], [c.1957], 12 p. ----Pontificalibus 06:02, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Building Societies have played an important role in English life and there are plenty of sources going back a long time. I see no reason to delete this one or Marsden Building Society, which was not deleted at that discussion. --Bduke (talk) 00:01, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
