Not a legally-recognized populated place, just a place, that barely seems to be there based on my WP:BEFORE searches. Delete or redirect per WP:NPLACE. Cremastra (talk) 22:01, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

• Keep or merge What before searches did you do? I get about 2,000 hits in the British Newspaper Archives and while many of those are routine it's clearly mentioned as a neighbourhood, there are books which discuss the demolition of the church there in the 1970s, and [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/14631180.2021.1925426 this] discusses the historical industrial part of the area (search "The Green".) It's a neighbourhood so it needs to pass WP:GNG but it just might. At worst this should be merged into Darlaston. SportingFlyer T·C 06:24, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
• Comment. Described correctly as an area of Darlaston. This is either Keep (needs further searching to determine if it passes GNG) or merge to Darlaston, probably under a Darlaston Green subheading. Rupples (talk) 07:20, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
• Sources: Journal article on the growth of Darlaston includes detail on Darlaston Green [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14631180.2021.1925426#d1e144]. Detail of a sculpture on The Green at Darlaston Green;[https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Public_Sculpture_of_Staffordshire_and_th/RbfVkHMTC0cC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Darlaston+Green&pg=PA50&printsec=frontcover] the sculpture could itself be notable, but if not include under Darlaston Green. History on Methodism in Darlaston Green in the book, The History of Methodism in Wednesbury. Mentions of Dalaston Green Wharf, Darlaston Green Furnaces, Darlaston Green Sidings, Darlaston Green Day School. Early 19th century newspapers refer to Darlaston Green in the parish of Darlaston, until separate parish was formed named Darlaston St George's after St George's church in Darlaston Green was built in 1844. Darlaston Green noted in gazetteers, albeit under Darlaston, but recognised as a distinct settlement.[https://www.blackcountryhistory.org/collections/getrecord/WAHER_MBL5022] Rupples (talk) 10:56, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
• Let me add the entry for the (then) village of Darlaston in William White's 1834 History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Staffordshire, which has a lot about the mine, much more than this article has, that was at Darlaston Green; as well as Darlaston Green's workhouse and church. There is indeed history here. It doesn't look like it from Frederick William Hackwood's 1887 A history of Darlaston, near Wednesbury (Horton Bros) until one realizes that throughout that history it is simply called "the Green", and comes up more often than search engines let on.

• Merge - what little there is in the current article, and anything useful from the above, into the Darlston article. KJP1 (talk) 17:28, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
