[edit] The Cherry Pit

The Cherry Pit (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Fails WP:N for lack of long-term coverage. Recent news story about a sex club in a Texas neighborhood. I can't believe this wasn't speedily deleted, but the admin wants a discussion so here it is. Also, if the club only has 80-100 members does that make it notable for an encyclopedia? If so, every Rotary club in the world should have their own Wikipedia page. All sources I have found for this story, and yes there are alot because it is "tittlating", are all carbon copies of the same AP story. Plus this is a local club with notability to Duncanville, TX, not necessarily the english-speaking world. Sc straker (talk) 18:45, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete This is nothing beyond a local news story that got picked up in limited national coverage as a juicy tabloidesque story. From what I see, it fails WP:N and even fails WP:V because the sources, beyind the local, appear trivial in nature. LonelyBeacon (talk) 18:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless some evidence of long-term notability can be found. Controversy over a sex club in a residential neighborhood is barely even newsworthy, at least on a national scale. Powers ^T 19:08, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete. I hate saying it, I really do, but WP:IDONTKNOWIT outright murders any issues in size or location. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this was somehow kept off technicalities because of its' most probable regional notability. My one glimmer of hope in the deletion of this article is WP:N#TEMP. If nothing else happens, get rid of it. --EnhancedDownloadBird ^(Upload) - 20:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete People get mad about these types of things all the time. Do we need an article every time the public gets upset about a sex club, porn shop, strip joint, etc.? I don't think so. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 22:46, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete This is not a news wire service. The subject has no long term notability unless this leads to an eventual Supreme Court case on the constitutionality of private sex clubs. Montco (talk) 23:36, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per WP:Notability -- or merge with Duncanville, TX--MonkeyTimeBoy (talk) 19:16, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - will be forgotten in a couple of months. Jauerback (talk) 20:30, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, OK. If you want to delete it that much, go ahead. Grundle2600 (talk) 20:59, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
