[edit] Claremorris Swimming Pool

Claremorris Swimming Pool (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Stub article in purple prose on a non-notable swimming pool in a smallish town, with an uninspiring photo of the wall beside the entrance; tagged as unreferenced since October 2006. The only incoming link is from the article on the town of Claremorris, and it might be useful to merge the article there, but without any references to support the text, I think that deletion would be preferable.

PS The only comment on the article's talk apge is "I cant believe this article exists", which was my reaction too when I saw it. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:52, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. No notability as far as I can find, nor any assertion of any in the article via verifiable sources (which I can't find either). Not encyclopedic content, Wikipedia is not a directory. WilliamH (talk) 16:09, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:N and makes the uncited claim of "long history of producing both national and international swimmers and water polo players" and fails WP:V. --Pmedema (talk) 16:51, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - per nom and Pmedema. Guliolopez (talk) 17:26, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
• Strong delete I can't believe it either. It is not notable. Assertions made have issues with WP:V. Notability is not fame anyway. Any notable swimmers became notable because of good coaching and hard training, not because they swam in a certain pool. --- Taroaldo (talk) 17:34, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete: Non-notable. Although the picture of the entrance that says " swim in poo" is funny. DCEdwards1966 (talk) 19:13, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

•  ;) And if that description were accurate the article would be notable. Thanks for spotting that - it gave me a good laugh. --- Taroaldo (talk) 19:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per BrownHairedGirl, with whom I agree whole-heartedly. Has this article really existed since 2006?? (jarbarf) (talk) 20:02, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete wow, just wow. If this one doesn't get deleted, every pub and community center in the world could be considered notable. The image of the sign with the missing letters did make me laugh though.--Rtphokie (talk) 20:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete with some regret. It seems somewhat of a shame to delete an article that has held out this long. Even so, fails all three content policies and also fails the notability guideline. Would make a nice advert in the local newspaper perhaps. EJF (talk) 21:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per EJF's comments. --Starionwolf (talk) 02:31, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - no assertion of notability. No sources. It's time to go--Cailil ^talk 23:18, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as per everyone. Isn't it snowing yet? Edward321 (talk) 01:40, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
