This article about Arn Gill in County Durham has apparently been deleted. The Welsh article about Arn Gill is here. The Commons category for Arn Gill is here. Note: the Commons category was for a long time incorrectly labelled as a village. A gill is a northern English word for ravine (gorge or canyon) - possibly from the Norse gjelle. That label has now been corrected. Some villages in the north of England do have "gill" in their names, but Arn Gill in County Durham is a beck (small river) in an actual ravine. I am now wondering whether the article was deleted because someone mistakenly thought it was about a village, which they could not locate, because it is not a village, but a river in a ravine and tributary of the River Gaunless.

I should add for clarity that there are two geographical entities in England called Arn Gill. Besides the above, in County Durham, there is a ravine in Swaledale, North Yorkshire, called Arn Gill. There is also Arnsgill, a river in North Yorkshire. The three entities are not connected with each other. Storye book (talk) 16:21, 2 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
