I was involved as in editor in some at least of those deletion discussions. One was of a ("deplorable") statue affixed to the Shire Hall, which it was thought would be better placed within the Shire Hall article itself, and another was/is of a single shop (started by an editor who was the shop founder's grandson, I think), which was merged into an article about the street where it is located. The other may be an article about a single tree - not sure whether that article still exists. The interesting point is that all the discussions have been resolved between local (or at least UK) editors, rather than Randy from Boise complaining that they are non-notable. But, it's almost inherent in a locally-based initiative like this, involving new editors, that there will be some discussion - I think it's all been pretty amicable though. Some of the articles though do stretch the boundaries of what some of us consider to be notable (I've caught myself referring to "bog standard Grade II listed buildings, for instance).
