[edit] The King Street Run

A pub crawl in Cambridge. Drunk students are tedious, but they are not notable. Pilatus 12:55, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Not notable, utters ninth Greek. Paul Klenk
• Delete. nn. Dottore So 15:10, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• I've merged the individual pub pages there. None of them deserve their own article. On the other hand, if the Run has a pub named after it, then that suggests a significant degree of notability. So I vote keep. Flowerparty ^talk 16:47, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Never heard of it while I was living there. Knowledge of the custom can't extend beyond the undergrad population. Pilatus 19:08, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. David | Talk 18:21, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Move. The idea of merging a series of pubs is good, but organizing it around an undergrad drinking game is probably what is generating all the delete votes. Sdedeo 20:26, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Fair point, move to a more neutral list page. Flowerparty ^talk 20:43, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Why not include the information on the King Street article? Sdedeo 20:51, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
      • How do you mean? Flowerparty ^talk 21:00, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
        • i.e., have the article on King Street contain the information about the pubs on King Street. Sdedeo 21:09, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
          • So effectively you mean "merge" with King Street, Cambridge. Yes, that's probably sensible. Flowerparty ^talk 21:24, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
          • Has any of you actually seen King Street, Cambridge? It has a few shops and pubs and the only coffee shop in Cambridge that doesn't close until midnight. It's not even one of the main shopping streets of the town, it's quite marginal in fact. WAH! Must we have every street in every town next? Pilatus 21:48, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:Pages for deletion/The Cambridge Arms. If the consensus on that vote is to delete, please remove the information about The Cambridge Arms from the King Street Run article, as it would be a violation of GFDL to keep that information. Zoe 21:04, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

• Pilatus is right. It's where you go when you're bored with everywhere else. Although the coffee shop in question, Clowns, is rather good. -Splash 22:47, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

• Clowns is horrible! Sorry. Why are so many Cambridge people hanging around VfD? Sdedeo 19:15, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

• Well, not quite. It would be a violation of GFDL to cut-and-paste the text into a different article, but there is nothing wrong about including information about the pub somewhere else on wikipedia. This happens all the time. Sdedeo 21:11, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• OK, this is complex, because of the merging. Can we not merge the pubs in Cambridge into Pubs in Cambridge, or List of public houses in Cambridge, rather than organizing them by student drinking routes? I vote to Keep this, and merge it into some better organized article. Trollderella 21:06, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Alright, I'm regretting being bold now. Can we just replace that part with a link for now, and keep the discussions separate. I'm too scared to edit these pages now. Flowerparty ^talk 21:24, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable pub crawl. Nandesuka 22:37, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and reorganize, as per Trollderella. Kappa 22:45, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, it's not particularly notable even among the undergrad population. I can't help wondering why people think that a pub-crawl is somehow notable. You're not being blinded by the fact that it has some association with the students of a 'famous' Uni, surely.-Splash 22:47, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete non-notable local custom followed only by undergrad students. Denni☯ 22:52, 2005 August 27 (UTC)
• Keep Does no harm. Dmn € Դմն 23:15, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete every uni has a pub crawl. Students being drunk is not notable, it being the basic state of your normal student and all. And this pub crawl seems no more noticable than the ones I have taken in Coventry, Southampton or Leeds. Sabine's Sunbird 01:53, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• delete as per sabine's sunbird. --TimPope 08:03, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn. Martg76 00:36, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. Many unreferenced claims. Quale 15:32, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
