[edit] The Phyrst
The article is about a random bar. No assertion of individual distinction is made, so I think this is just plain not notable. Deranged bulbasaur 19:08, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete No assertion of notability. The closest claim this article makes for notability is that it is "well known for its Irish theme"? It and 50 other bars in every city. Resolute 20:17, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete CSD A7 - no assertion of notability. So tagged. Walton Vivat Regina! 20:27, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. {{hangon}} has been used and the author posted this comment on the article talk page. Michaelas10 (Talk) 22:04, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment and Neutral. Neutral pending additional sources such as this one. Also, additional comments on the matter. Thanks, GChriss <always listening><c> 22:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Weak delete per GChriss' linked comments concerning local interest only - if there are sources other than the Collegian that demonstrate further notability, I'll reconsider. — PSUMark2006 talk | contribs 01:20, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- The essay which he links in defense of local interest topics does not carry the weight of a policy or guideline, and therefore has little relevance to this discussion. The only thing intimated by the references is that this is a place where kids from a certain college go to get drunk. Were it not located as it is, doubtless it would lose even that distinction, showing it to be incendental rather than substantive: the same sort of notability as owns the notorious backally in my city where kids from a certain ghetto go to sniff paint stripper. As for the musical performances, it has not been shown, in the larger scheme, that this venue is suitably notable in that respect either. Deranged bulbasaur 04:14, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I recognize that it's not policy or a guideline at all. However, it's not even in defense of local interest: "Has The Phyrst been the subject of any reputable publications, demonstrating more than local interest?" seems to indicate to me that GChriss expresses doubt as to the notability of local attractions. I'm with you on this - the only reason I said "weak delete" instead of flat-out "delete" was to leave open the possibility of more notable or significant sources, since I would likely not be surprised if they do in fact exist. — PSUMark2006 talk | contribs 04:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- I was moreso referring to comments such as: "This article qualifies under Wikipedia:Places_of_local_interest." on Talk:The Phyrst. I'm sorry if I fomented any confusion. Deranged bulbasaur 05:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
