[edit] Yatton Village Social Club

There are lots of social clubs. Having a fire doesn't make this one notable. Edward 23:27, 2005 Jun 8 (UTC)

• Keep. No reason not to include all social clubs, however many there are, so long as the information is verifiable and presented in accordance with NPOV policy. Notability is in the eye of the beholder. Grace Note 23:44, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, sounds very much like advertising. --Sn0wflake 00:11, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - OK, I can almost see keeping schools. But an article on every bar in the world? We'll run out of not paper real fast. --FCYTravis 00:36, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete FCYTravis made me laugh. --Xcali 04:53, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• delete, some bars & social clubs are notable, this one isn't - I live 20 minutes away from Yatton, have driven through the village to its railway station countless times, and have a friend who lives there, but I'd never heard of it before reading this article. Thryduulf 07:29, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete; most social clubs have nothing verifiable beyond a name, maybe a meeting location, maybe a pale semblance of a purpose, and officers which change every year or more in fashions not conducive to maintainability. Their events and activities aren't even close to encyclopedic significance, except maybe a very few such as the Friars Club Roast. Grace Note is incorrect, in that "notability" for WP purposes isn't subjective; it's about objective facts like widespread coverage by mainstream media, or ongoing published controversy in the major journals covering a field. None of this is shown in the article or vote comments. Barno 18:49, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• It's a bar that serves alcoholic drinks. And - Get this! - it has a pool table, snooker table, dart board, table skittles, and a jukebox. How unusual is that! Grace Note is wrong. Verifiability and NPOV are not the sole grounds for encyclopaedia-worthiness. (If they were, 11111 would have stayed.) Delete. Uncle G 19:27, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
• Delete. Oh come on, Grace Note. RickK 21:02, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not a worldwide guide to places where one can get drunk. carmeld1 02:49, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The place does have some local cultural significance, but the page has never managed to reflect this; few other users have shown any interest in updating it, detracting from its utility. Burn the asylum
