Three of this article's five sources appear to Fail Verification, in that they don't reference the place at all. Which leaves a map, and a bus timetable. I can't see that these give this very unremarkable housing estate any Notability. KJP1 (talk) 09:08, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Merge to Scotlands Estate.Delete. I can find no evidence of "Underhill" being used to refer to a place in Essington parish, as claimed in the article. But it looks like it is used in the media as a synonym for Scotlands Estate in the immediately adjacent area of Wolverhampton, e.g. [1][2][3] Joe D (t) 13:25, 25 January 2025 (UTC) (Updated 14:00, 1 February 2025 (UTC) per Rupples's comment)- Comment. Not seeing much point in merging this. Scotlands Estate and Scotlands appear to be duplicates, this article's title is misleading - it ought to be Underhill, Wolverhampton and the sources don't support the content. However, Underhill should be mentioned somewhere and a redirect made from its accurate title. More of a 'start again' exercise. Rupples (talk) 16:42, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
- It's not really a place any more, and when it was, it was Underhill farm, Cannock Road, Wolverhampton. This isn't some enormous historical place that we've entirely missed, as is Hilton Park; a vast sprawling estate to the north covering 4,650 acres (1,880 ha) in the 1860s, clearly shown on the old maps, that is also in history books, with nary a mention in Wikipedia all these years (c.f. Westcroft, Staffordshire (AfD discussion)). This is a farm whose sole record seems to be mentions as a farmer's address in pig breeding journals. The actual population centre, a kilometre and a bit away from the farm, was Bushbury, which we already have. Ironically, the first source in the article is actually about Bushbury, and this content is falsely sourced, there being no claim to any place called Underhill in the source (which, ironically, has information about Hilton Park on pages 235, 251, 488, and 666). I agree with Rupples. There's nothing that this can be corrected into that we don't already have, and this article is plain false. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 00:00, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
