[edit] Higher Ground (nightclub)

Because a band called "Phish" once performed there doesn't warrant an entry into Wikipedia Cyberevil 20:21, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

• Comment More than Phish. Its closing, and it seems borderline notable. Seems like a piece of music history being documented; I'm leaning towards Keep and Cleanup, but I'm going to look further first. KillerChihuahua^?!? 21:17, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. It's fairly notable in the area. Nothing on the website indicates it's closing. Definitely needs cleanup. Crunch 23:54, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

  Yup, the closing was from a news article, written apr 2004, closing supposed to happen in a year or two - apparently didn't happen. [[1]]. KillerChihuahua^?!? 00:20, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

  • The original Higher Ground in Winooksi, Vermont closed in 2004, with a newer location opened later that year in South Burlington, Vermont. It is owned by the brother in law of Phish's lead guitarist, Trey Anastasio, and a lot of history, pertaining more to the band's side projects than the band itself has been made at both locations. Phish is one of the major Vermont institutions like Ben & Jerry. I originally authored the article because I believe that Higher Ground has been an important place to the people of Vermont and the fans of Phish, and feel that it belongs in Wikipedia as much as a venue like CBGB.

  Wonderful, I've not been able to find decent sources to puzzle this out. Can you add sources to the article, and expand a little? At the least, add the sources to the talk page so they are available for others? KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:21, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as unverifiable, among other things. Stifle 15:14, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
• I would like to do a rewrite of this article, if you can give me a few more days. I promise to add more sources to make this legitimate and up to Wikipedia standards. Thanks. Milchama 13:44, 12 January 2006

• Keep plenty of notable bands and singers have played there -- Astrokey44|talk 04:19, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• Rewrite complete. Milchama 23:12, 17 January 2006
