Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/93 Feet East

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

93 Feet East was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was KEEP based on the substantial changes made late in the voting. There is no reason given that would require the deletion of the page history. Note that this decision does not address the relative notability of the new subject of this article. That discussion should be reserved to a separate nomination if appropriate.

vfd notice added on the 28th by an anon user with a history of constructive edits (see [1]). Edit summary was: (VfD added. Appears as advert for a group.). I support this; non-notable local community site, text is evidently a c&p dump from their web page. Ianb 09:08, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. - UtherSRG 11:59, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete it a lot. I'd guess that almost all users of Wikipedia don't need to post community notices for Brick Lane. Geogre 12:35, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • "Welcome to the Brick Lane community site?" Delete. SWAdair | Talk 04:39, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia is not a web directory. Delete. -- Cyrius| 05:35, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Useless as it stands, though possibly deserving of an article. Notable London music venue, interesting (1) as an architectural conversion of part of a brewery (2) as a meeting point of hip subcultural London & the younger part of the Bengali (and more broadly subcontinental) community centered on Brick Lane. On both counts, a good topic to use to elucidate the cultural changes of London's East End in recent years. Delete the article as it stands, but it could be a good topic for an article. -- Jmabel 18:03, Aug 1, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. I replaced existing advert text with description by Jmabel above. Granted, it's now a stub, but it's a worthwhile stub. Salasks 21:01, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)
    • Comment: I so want to change my vote. I really, really do, if only because I think an article on the legendary club 688 would be worthwhile, too, but the rewrite removes the grounds for the delete vote without, still, really giving us notability. It's not a web ad, now. I just wish it explained more about how central it is to the community, how it organizes immigrant community life, etc. I'll change to abstain. The reason I do is this: This VfD debate has been about advertising. The article has changed. I feel that a re-nomination would be necessary if we were voting on notability. Therefore, I can't vote keep, but neither delete anymore. Geogre 16:44, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
