[edit] Lac Marois Country Club

This is a private club open for only 2 months of the year. No significant media coverage here and fails WP:CORP. Possibly of interest locally so I have merged the encyclopaedic content into Sainte-Anne-des-Lacs, Quebec where it fits nicely. I set up a redirect which has been undone by the creator. This is a nice looking article but it is completely unsourced with much POV. The parts of the article that I haven't merged are unencyclopaedic detail about activities and internal organisation, effectively a recruitment brochure. After any redirect a delete is needed to stop the redirect being undone again. Delete. BlueValour 16:25, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

This article was not written with the objective of recruiting new members or serving as an advertisement. Lac Marois Country Club does not actively seek new membership as residents of that city know of the existence of LMCC, and residents of other cities cannot be members.

First, i agree that there are some elements that do not have a neutral POV. As a goal of making this article conform to Wikipedia standards, I have begun removing all non-encyclopedic entries, like names of the current staff members and all comments that do not directly describe the Lac Marois Country Club or its activities.

As there are articles written on every subject in Wikipedia by those who are passionate about them, this article is intended to present readers about LMCC's activities and events. For those who search about Country clubs, Lac Marois is certainly a good find, as it does not conform to the pragmatic view of what is a Country Club. Furthermore, the activities presented are valuable to anyone in need of inspiration for events and these events are described here since they form the foundation of what LMCC is.

Once we can all agree that this entry is encyclopedic in nature, then I can see no reason that it should not be included in Wikipedia. MzK 2:37, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - I appreciate your attachment to an an article that you created however it is simply not encyclopaedic. To fit into Wikipedia it needs to be verifiable - WP:V refers and says Articles should contain only material that has been published by reliable sources - and all the content about the club's activities is simply not verifiable. It is fine on your website which is a suitable place but not here. I rescued those parts that are likely to be verifiable and put them in the main article. BlueValour 08:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
