Only one source is specifically about it, and it is a blog post. The other two just discuss bars generally. I don't see a grounds for notability, other than being a gay bar in Portland. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ᐐT₳LKᐬ  21:01, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - this clearly lacks notability - it doesn't meet the general notability guidelines as there hasn't been significant coverage of the topic in reliable sources. A single blog post about the bar is not enought to justify inclusion in an encyclopedia. LoudLizard (📞 | contribs  | ✉) 21:19, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete There doesn't appear to be significant coverage of this subject. If someone can produce some, I have an open mind. It looks like typical coverage for a bar.--Truthtests (talk) 23:12, 3 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment/request from article creator: Let's spare the deletion discussion and just redirect the article to LGBT culture in Portland, Oregon. As the article creator, I think this is the best action to take until someone is willing to expand the article further. I'd do so myself, but I think redirecting is discouraged during an ongoing deletion discussion. Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:42, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect per article creator Another Believer's request. -- do ncr  am  01:51, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have nothing per se against a redirect, but what are the odds someone types "Casey's (Portland, Oregon)" into the WP search bar? ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador  ᐐT₳LKᐬ  13:25, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirects are cheap, so as long as the search is plausible, I suggest we keep. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:35, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * To be fair, the odds are low that somebody would plan that exact title right from the start of typing. But if they were looking for an article about it, they would at the very least type "Casey's" and try to see if any of the search results corresponded to the one they were looking for or not — "Portland, Oregon" therefore being their cue.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: While the predominant thought right now is delete, relisting to see reaction to article creator's request.

 * Redirect per creator. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can find stronger sources — which aren't impossible. Creator also recently did Le Stud, which isn't any better than this as written but as a Canadian I can personally attest that it's highly improvable (I haven't personally been to Montreal since 1992, yet Le Stud is the one gay bar in Montreal that I can name right off the top of my head as quickly as I can name my locals here in Trawna), and thus I maintenance-tagged it rather than listing it for deletion. That may certainly be the case here as well, although I don't know nearly enough about Portland to say one way or the other. Bearcat (talk) 16:32, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
