When does a military barracks qualify as a village? A locality, yes but a village, no.
I hope you will find my efforts to set out a history, demography, set of community amenities and most of all geography leading to more productive reading of your own, however I would welcome views on this topic, as I have tried to strike a half-way house, but no doubt estate agents will scream down my neck: it's a village not a special type. - Adam37 Talk 15:01, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
- Deepcut is more than just the barracks (there's a separate article for that) - it's the area around Deepcut Bridge Road and Blackdown Road as well as recent residential development on part of the barracks site. I'd put "village," not "military village", in the opening sentence, but mention military later in the lead section; the Aldershot article just has "town". A search finds some sources that could be used: Surrey Heath council, BBC, BBC again. Peter James (talk) 16:18, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
