Abernant is certainly south (east) of Builth, but the map reference is wrong, and the details in the information box are wrong — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.75.199.193 (talk) 01:33, 8 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

The whole thing is a bit of a dog's breakfast, I'm afraid. There are many places called Abernant (Aber-nant) in Wales, and at least three of them are in Powys. This article manages to confuse information about all three! The history is as follows:
  • On 1 Feb 2008 User:Yr Wyddfa created a page about the hamlet of Abernant in the Erwood Community Council area (in the old county of Brecknockshire): this is the hamlet situated 6 miles south-east of Builth, at the mouth of the stream flowing east from Banc y Celen to the Wye. (Abernant does not mean "mouth of the spring", BTW, but "mouth of the stream".)
  • On 25 March 2010 User:Eyeg1234 added a reference to the Manor Adventure activity centre: this is situated at Abernant Hotel (a different Abernant!) 11.5 miles west, in the Llanwrtyd Wells Community Council area.
  • On 8 April 2014 User:Wici Rhuthun 1 altered the geographic co-ordinates and added an infobox and map relating to yet another Abernant, situated 32 miles north-north-east of the "original" one in the Berriew Community Council area (in the old county of Montgomeryshire), but otherwise left the article's text unchanged.
  • On 31 March 2014, an article (to which this one is linked) was created on the Welsh-language Wikipedia. It relates (text and infobox) to the Montgomeryshire Abernant.
This all needs sorting! Although I'm generally an "inclusionist" both hamlets (in Erwood and Berriew) are very tiny – half a dozen houses, if that – so I'm wondering whether either really merits an article. I'm "sleeping on it" for now, but if anyone else has any suggestions... -- Picapica (talk) 18:32, 17 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
