Surely within a category "Rothschilds", there is place for a section "English Rothschilds" (as well as "French Rothschilds", "Vienna Rothschilds", "Frankfurt Rothschilds", "American Rothschilds" and "Rothschilds (bank)") discussing the Buckinghamshire connection, with links directly to the houses named.

"Rothschild Houses in Buckinghamshire is an intermediate category that isn't useful. User:Wetman

I only write what I know about, which is the local history of the Buckinghamshire area. If you think it an unhelpful article, feel free to change it. User:Francs2000

Wasn't Stowe Park in Buckingham also one of his? Might also be worth mentioning that the Tring property is now a natural history museum, featuring a large collection of animals (sadly stuffed) collected by one of the Rothschilds. GRAHAMUK 10:17, 17 Sep 2003 (UTC)

No, Stowe Park was not a Rothschild house. The Tring Museum is not housed in Rothschild's house Tring Park, it is housed in the town centre. Tring Park is still privately owned by the Rothschild family. Unfortunately I don't feel I know enough about the latter house in order to create an article about it. User:Francs2000

[edit] Afd

Why is this? Shouldn't the purchases and holdings be in the article on the family? A list of land owned by the family is #1 nothing anyone would search for, #2 not in itself significant. It doesn't change anything. The land doesn't get better, worse, more interesting, or less interesting for having been owned by Joe Smith or Baron von Rothschild. Unless the article were to state that the Rothschilds had some plan or some purpose or some project for their land, then this is just trivia at best. Utgard Loki (talk) 19:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, fingerpainting: this wouldn't even be a useful Category. First step: make sure each enyclopedia-worthy property is given its own article. I'd just cut-and-paste, losing the bit of edit history here. But there might be objections to that. --Wetman (talk) 19:53, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I have only just seen this. No it should not be deleted. It is hugely important. This is how one family in a very short period practically bought the best part of one English county, altered its entire social structure which caused a legacy to be left which is still tangible today. As a piece of social history it is without parallel. The page could do with expansion and more of a rationale for its raison d'etre though. Giano (talk) 18:55, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
