[edit] William Wroe Golf Course
This course is about as insignificant as a golf course can be. It is par 64 course aimed mainly at beginners so there is no chance it will ever hold a tournament of any signficance whatsoever. Category:Golf clubs and courses needs populating, but with articles about places like the great courses with red links in the Golf Digest article, not articles like this one.

- There are around 30,000 golf courses in the world. This is one of the least important. When I click on a link in one of the subcategories in Category:Golf clubs and courses I want to find an article that might enhance my knowledge of golf. This doesn't - it might as well be made up. It is a simply a directory style entry. I want to see all the golf categories well populated one day (I'm the biggest contributor to them) but not filled up with random clutter that makes it harder for people to identify worthwhile articles, and makes random clicking full and pointless. No one can derive any possible benefit from reading this article - even in the locality only a minority of people will be interested, and they probably won't learn anything from the article.Osomec 23:59, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- If your problem is with categories, redo them. I do think there is a good argument for having this piece included. --Irishpunktom\talk 00:07, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

- Strong Keep. I can't delete a golf course article based on a POV criteria like we should only have articles on "the great courses". If we are going to go down that road, why not just keep articles on the "great" universities, or the "great" highways, or the "great" towns, or the "great" football players, or the "great" stadiums? Why not make things simple and only have articles on films that have won academy awards, or scientists that have won nobel prizes, or hall of fame athletes? Everything else is just getting in the way of the random clicking, right? Well I hope we never go down that road. Life is made up of the great and the less great. This course must be important for the people who play on it and the local economy. Furthermore, this nom speaks like he owns the golf category and that he should be the one to decide what is worthwhile to be included. The editors who submitted the info did not see it as pointless, or "random clutter" and I'm satisfied that these editors are treating these courses in keeping with wikipedia standards. Therefore I see no grounds for removal. -- JJay 01:01, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. Are golf courses the new schools? JoshuaZ 03:02, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. We don't need 30,000 golf course articles. 300 would probably be closer to the mark. Ryder Cup venues, major championship venues, regular venues on the major tours should make the cut. Any others would just get in the way of the stuff worth reading.

- Delete There are 100+ courses like this in metro Atlanta. Creating an article about each of them would be bad for Wikipedia. Golfcam 17:57, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
