[edit] Sheffield pubs

This could be a good subject for an article, but as it is it is original research and the point of view of the author. Delete under WP:NOT criteria 1.3: "Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought" JeremyA 04:28, 29 December 2005 (UTC) I have reformatted the article and removed all of the review-like elements. With some clean-up and expansion it might make a good article, so I am changing my vote to no vote. If kept, I suggest renaming to either Pubs in Sheffield or List of pubs in Sheffield.

• Delete Wikipedia is not a travel guide. --Pboyd04 04:32, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Even after the cleanup I'm going to have to stick with Delete. it still seems really travel guideish. Maybe it should be transwikied to Wikitravel. --Pboyd04 03:27, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Pboyd04. Madman 06:17, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Reviewed post-cleanup and have since decided that it's a very nice article with lots of good photos (and we need photos). Trans-wiki this to Wikitravel. Madman 20:18, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I suggest directing the author to http://wikitravel.org/. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 12:10, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. This could be a good article listing and detailing the wide variety of drinking establishments available in the former steel capital of the world. It needs a major re-write to remove much of the POV bits, but essentially that would just require bits to be deleted. If I had more time, I'd have a go. Evil Eye 16:51, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete good content, wrong Wiki. Wikitravel would be good. But not here, per Pboyd04. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 18:38, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. The article has been cleaned up some what from what it was and I think it is much better now and does in fact have a fair scope for additions and extensions. It could be a very informative article or anyone interested in the history and placement of pubs or who are interested in Sheffield. Evil Eye 17:15, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and comment. I've taken on board comments and understand the whys of the afd. This article should have information on the history of the public houses and therefore an inestimable source of information on Sheffield. Captain scarlet 11:20, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. Is already a passable article and could become an interesting one. Warofdreams talk 01:42, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Pubs are important buildings in British towns and cities and are an important part of history and culture in Britain, so this article should be kept and improved. Paul the Archivist 12:46, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
