Freedom Hall Civic Center

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

No references that establish notability are given, and browsing through Google News and Google Books hits reveals nothing, no discussion of the topic. One or two articles mention that it's the biggest attraction in Johnson City--but if you've ever been to Johnson City, you know that doesn't mean that much.

 * Delete. I would've speedied this as A1. This is not an encyclopedia article. Keep per references added. This user has made numerous sub-stubs that all begin the same way and it's beginning to be a strain on other editors who have to go clean up behind him and verify if the building is notable or not. -- &oelig; &trade; 04:30, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. I added references from three different newspapers. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 19:44, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you, and I've now changed my !vote to keep. But this just proves my point. The creator of this article and many others similar to it makes absolutely no effort to add any references or any pertinent information regarding these buildings and relies entirely on the work of other editors to clean up immediately after him so that it doesn't get deleted, and so he may then take credit for creating the article and then boast on their talk pages about how they "updated his awesome article". It's infuriating and I for one will not encourage such behaviour. -- &oelig; &trade; 19:06, 13 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Even with the references, sounds like a very run-of-the-mill venue of purely local interest. The newspapers provided are all purely local; only one is even about the structure (a renovation), the other two are merely "coming events" notices. --MelanieN (talk) 00:40, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree, though I thank Eastmain for their efforts. These sources do not provide significant discussion that explains or verified the building's notability. Eastmain, the moment you turn this into a DYK I will withdraw the nomination! After all, you could do with some practice... ;) Drmies (talk) 14:46, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
