Eagle Tavern (Eagle, Pennsylvania)

It seems to be an old building, but does that make it notable? Fails WP:NBUILD Rusf10 (talk) 06:52, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep in addition to the sources in the article which seems to be a dead link, I was able to dig up     . You do have to search though. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 15:08, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * These are all local sources. The WP:AUD requirement for business notability still has not been met.--Rusf10 (talk) 19:05, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The Philadelphia Inquirer is a major source. Plus I found plenty of sources that used the Eagle Tavern as a local landmark. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 00:40, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Whether it is a major source or not, is not the point. It is local. There is a difference between a Philadelphia area restaurant get coverage in the Inquirer and a far away restaurant getting coverage in the Inquirer. For our purposes here, the Philadelphia Inquirer is a local source.--Rusf10 (talk) 04:26, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep I believe the article has adequate sources. CaffeinAddict (talk) 04:18, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Question. Given all the "eagles" out there and the somewhat unclear geographic references, I can't tell for sure if either (pp. 28–43; 95–117) or  (chaps. 8–10) mention this tavern. I am assuming that this one and the "Spread Eagle" are different, but if they are the same there seems to be some coverage. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 18:28, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Appears to me to be two different Taverns.--Rusf10 (talk) 00:29, 18 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep: Major metropolitan areas are regional, with a wide audience. Coverage in the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News are adequate sources for notability. — Toughpigs (talk) 19:07, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * These are local sources, see WP:AUD--Rusf10 (talk) 00:29, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * WP:AUD says "at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary." It does not define the difference between "local" (one town) and "regional", but I believe that a major metropolitan area counts as "regional". Almost all newspapers are based in a particular place; if the Philadelphia Inquirer, Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times are all "local", then newspapers would contribute very little to notability. — Toughpigs (talk) 00:59, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Toughpigs thought a letter to the editor in a small local newspaper two towns away from a place proved regional coverage also. While totally ignoring that letters to the editor aren't reliable sources. So, I'd take his opinion about it with a serious grain of salt. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:52, 18 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:HEY - Eddy's expansion during the AfD shows we can write an article on this building using proper sources. There is no hard and fast rule over how much the geographical extent of a source contributes to notability. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  09:22, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
