[edit] Spinsters of San Francisco

Spinsters of San Francisco (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Queryable speedy-delete-tagging for "not notable". They seem fairly notable to me. Anthony Appleyard 15:01, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - acceptable notability. Needs better references. --Evb-wiki 15:27, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Definitely not a speedy delete - makes strong claim for notability. A few references would improve. Phil Bridger 21:08, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as non notable and failing WP:ORG. There are less than 700 GHits, which reduces to less than 60 when Google removes similar links. None of these appear to be from reliable sources, and those that seem independent (and some that are closely linked) describe the Spinsters as being an exclusive membership club that does a bit of charity work on the side.

  • Very weak keep, the only in-depth coverage (i.e. not a membership invocation in a wedding announcement or obituary) was this. There are a couple of minor mentions in Google Books. It seems like it should be more notable historically and so there are probably offline sources that could be used, but ultimately it's just a localized version of the Junior League. Still, with such a unique name and in such a large city, it has some currency. --Dhartung | Talk 00:04, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
