 * I think the problem with this page is that the sources you cited, while they are reliable, don't discuss the Islington in enough detail to establish notability. What is needed are reliable sources that talk about it rather than just mention it. Also, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED from having notable artists perform there.

 * Responding to the same query. I note that according to this Flickr photo caption among other sources, it was previously The North One and before that The Grande and The Silver Spoon. If anyone has written about the building or about any of the previous incarnations, that would help. But mere mentions of it as where certain acts have played don't make it notable: the pub itself, or the building, has to be the topic of extensive discussion. The closest you've come to that as far as I can see is the Independent reviewer starts out by calling it "a sweaty little pub behind Sainsbury's" or something to that effect (they keep browning out the page on me because I haven't signed up). Here are the general notability guidelines; here is a summary with links to fuller explanations; here are specific notability criteria for organisations, which is the closest I can find that might apply out of the guidelines we have for some specific kinds of pages.
