Blow Buddies

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a non-notable nightclub. Existing sources are poor quality, and coverage about the subject is routine and superficial. Fails WP:ORG. - MrX 🖋 12:33, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep there are several reliable sources that cover the topic in depth, it may be a stub now but it is the largest gay sex club in San Francisco, a notable city for the LGBT+ community if not the most notable one, basically it's the biggest gay sex club in the gayest city in the world. That alone merits inclusion. Gothamist, Gay Star News, and the Bay Area Reporter are not minor mentions their articles give the matter significant coverage in multiple reliable sources and therefore anyone should see it should be kept, just because the sources are largely the LGBT+ press does not mean the sources are invalid. One would expect gay topics to be covered further in depth by the gay community itself anyways and their media matters too.Ndołkah☆ (talk) 12:38, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep – This and this appear to indicate it is of significant academic interest in relation to the AIDS epidemic. Some other Google Books hits like p. 118 of this book show notability in the SF gay scene. There are several localized news coverage and even tourism books like this one. IMO, there is enough to meet WP:GNG. --- C &amp; C  (Coffeeandcrumbs) 16:27, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
