Fiesta Nightclub (Sheffield)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable nightclub lacking GHits and GNEWs of substance. Appears to fail WP:ORG. red dog six (talk) 09:11, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep The BBC News story in the article seems to demonstrate notability.  Lugnuts  And the horse 11:47, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Leaning towards keep As well as BBC articles, there's coverage in Sheffield Star, Sheffield Telegraph, Teesside Evening Gazette, Toast magazine (there's a book No Siesta 'Til Club Fiesta by Neil Anderson but it's self-published). The Google books search has some promising results but sadly none of them are available to read online - there's an IBA publication describing a TV series filmed there, a bit from Freddie Trueman's As It Was describing doing standup there, something in Sylvia M. Pybus's "Damned bad place, Sheffield": an anthology of writing about Sheffield through the ages, and a couple of other possible results. It also reportedly featured in the 1970 documentary City On the Move (re-released as The Reel Monty).  If it was the biggest nightclub in Europe that might in itself make it notable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 19:18, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per this BBC article this was a club where once the Jackson Five, Beach Boys and Stevie Wonder performed. There is a news blog here (admittedly weak as an RS, but useful for research). Neil Anderson has written a book about the place: No Siesta 'til Club Fiesta, which got some local coverage, giving us more RSes: The Sheffield Telegraph. There is enough material in the sources for a better article than the current one. Churn and change (talk) 23:53, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: appears to have the beginnings of notability. Has WP:POTENTIAL to meet the WP:GNG. Vcessayist (talk) 00:36, 7 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Obvious Keep because this topic clearly passes WP:GNG:
 * The Fiesta’s star burned bright - News - The Star
 * Tributes to Sheffield’s ‘Mr Entertainment’ - Community - The Star

 * Keep. Though sources are so far sparse, it seems evident from the material found so far that this was a significant venue, playing host to internationally-renowned performers over a significant period. AndyTheGrump (talk) 11:50, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
