WP:N, unsourced - Jameson L. Tai ^{talk ♦ contribs} 11:23, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

• I dunno... the article seems to be asserting notability through its age and being the venue for numerous opens; IF it becomes sourced I think it should withstand AfD, but I can't find anything on google doing a (cursory) search. Epthorn (talk) 12:04, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. The club has hosted the Canadian Open (professional mens' golf tournament) five times, and is the 3rd oldest golf club in North America, as stated in the article. Another point; the nom is wrong - the article is sourced from the external link provided. PKT (talk) 12:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC) (author of the article).

Comment: I believe what the nom meant was that the club's own website is an inappropriate reference for purposes of notability- which it is. We need a source unconnected and not profiting from this article's subject in order to gain an outside party's perspective.Epthorn (talk) 12:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep has hosted the Canadian Open. Catchpole (talk) 13:46, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. The club appears to be notable; a lack of sources just means that sources should be added, not that the article should be deleted. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 16:07, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep While the article shouldn't repeat any assertions of significance made by the club's home page, the factual information should be fine. I don't see anything wrong with the article at all... the first U.S. clubs were in the late 1880s (not counting some earlier attempts in the 1600s and 1700s before the game's popularity waned) so that sounds about right. Some of the details can be verified with a quick Google search.[1][2]. At any rate, being the host to the Canadian Open alone makes it notable enough, and its age would also make it notable.

• Delete No significant independant coverage. Epbr123 (talk) 18:23, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The subject is a historic, internationally known location. At a minimum it's a national treasure of Canada. Alan.ca (talk) 01:14, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep It is a notable golf course, as it has hosted Canadian Opens and is the 3rd oldest in North America, as stated. Grover (talk) 01:23, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
