[edit] Novocastrian Philosophers' Club

Novocastrian Philosophers' Club (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This club only barely makes an assertion of notability when it says "The Club has been accused of being shrouded in myth and noteriety since its establishment.(sic)"

This sounds like a rather small club, the only source given does not mention the club. The group is mentioned on directory sites and a few other smaller references. I don't think this passes our notability standards. This had a CSD tag that I removed. Until(1 == 2) 13:25, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete I question whether this is a real club as this is impossible to verify. The only references to the subject that I find are to a theatrical event being held at the Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle. I cannot find the Novocastrian Philosophers' Press and hence no research publications. I cannot find a register of philosophical societies. Looking at this explanation, it seems clear that it is indeed a theatrical event and not an actual club. This article is either a hoax based on the theatrical event or the club is so not notable that it doesn't warrant a summary of it in the blurb for the event nor in the history of the Lit & Phil Soc.[1]. Either way, delete. --Malcolmxl5 16:05, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete As per above. Hiberniantears 19:06, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. As of now, the article shows no proof of sufficient notability. Zouavman Le Zouave 19:27, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
• I think it is indeed clear that this is a performance at the The Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle Upon Tyne, which you note has an article. I have corrected the redlink in the article we are discussing. See "The Performance" link in the url in the article. Click on "Back to The Lit & Phil" to find out about the proper organisation. This article should be merged into The Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle Upon Tyne although it needs rewriting in the process to make it clear it is a theatrical performance not a real club. If nobody wants to do that rewriting, just delete. --Bduke 23:43, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
• Neutral, the article does make some attempts at claims to notability such as "The Club publishes research through the Novocastrian Philosophers' Press". But I haven't put any work into trying to find sources, so I won't vote either for deletion or keeping. Mathmo ^Talk 08:05, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
