[edit] Bronx underground

This was summarily deleted a few days ago as "Blatant, self-promotional ad spam/link spam". Discussion on deletion review raised a near unanimous opinion that the article should be discussed prior to deletion. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:10, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

• No opinion. I have as yet no opinion on this article. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:10, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Website is ranked 4,276,868th on Alexa, only gets 111 hits on Google, some of which are Wikipedia:Deletion review or a version of it on a mirror. No claim of notability is made by the article; it could be any other music venue. If it's like The Cavern in Liverpool (that produced the Beatles), then it might be valid, but until such a claim is made, delete. Johnleemk | Talk 15:25, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• I see nothing verifiable here. Delete unless sufficient third-party sources are used in the article. Friday (talk) 15:34, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per WP:V. By the author's own admission there is little to no published information available on the organization. If sources are found, then the article still has problems with WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a propaganda machine. --Allen3 ^talk 16:01, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as above unless there is any evidence presented in the article of its notability. If the article is kept it should be moved to Bronx Underground with the current capitalisation left as the redirect. Thryduulf 16:21, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Obviously an ad, as can be seen from the staff list. --kralahome 00:46, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

• Well I'm satisfied that these chaps exist, they provide a performance venue in the Bronx area of Madhattoes, and they've produced a CD of some performances. I can't see why we should delete the article but perhaps we should consider redirecting to a more complete article. Any suggestions? --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:53, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're asking. You want to know where to redirect? Unless there's an obvious target, why would this be a candidate for redirection at all? Are you hoping for a List of clubs in the Bronx article or something? As for why it should be deleted, the most compelling reason offered so far is that it's not verifiable. Other concerns are that it's an ad, and, (for those who believe in notability), it's not notable. Friday (talk) 02:08, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
