Escape The Room Challenge

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Insufficient notability. This looks to me like a small business with only regional notability. I don't see what makes it more important than any other escape room business on Earth. (The article is otherwise well-written, not in a too promotional tone.) Rinaku (t · c) 18:55, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Merge to Escape room, which presently only has a link to this article in its See also section. This will enhance and improve the merge target article. North America1000 21:39, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Enhance how? That article states "In 2015, there were over 2,800 escape room venues worldwide".  What makes this particular one worth singling out for mention there? —Cryptic 22:08, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Add a "By country" section and include content about some escape rooms around the world that have received coverage in reliable sources. Or, just leave the suggested merge target article as it is in a start-class state and also delete this one. North America1000 22:10, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I struck my merge !vote above and am changing it here to delete. The topic does not appear to have received enough coverage per WP:AUD to qualify for an article. North America1000 02:14, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete instead as the exact likely search chances are still questionable, I find nothing else to suggest this particular subject can be independently notable or why it can be kept. Delete as there's nothing else convincing. SwisterTwister   talk  20:40, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence that this particular business is notable... this kind of thing is becoming a very popular fad in the U.S. and we can't possibly expect to maintain a full blown page based on every small town's newspaper's insignificant coverage of it.
