Klute (Nightclub)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This nightclub has not been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, as is required to meet either the general or business notability guidelines. The only claim of notability that has ever existed is that it was supposedly voted the worst nightclub in the world, but as discussed on the talk page this is almost certainly a hoax. I can't find anything about the club in google books, google news or factiva. SmartSE (talk) 20:23, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment. As someone who lives in Durham, I can assure you this is a genuine nightclub which is very well known in Durham, either with affection or notoriety. The rumour about it being called the second worst nightclub in Europe is certainly a very widespread rumour. I suspect this story has been embellished over the years, but it's certainly not a hoax made up for Wikipedia. Not sure if this qualifies for notability of Wikipedia - I'll do a bit of digging when I have some more spare time and see what I can find. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 17:07, 26 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Previous debate - I just realised that the article qualifies for speedy deletion per WP:CSD based on Articles for deletion/Klute (nightclub) so I'll tag it accordingly. SmartSE (talk) 20:04, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think it does qualify under G4 - see talk. 86.146.221.44 (talk) 22:03, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I've looked at the previous version (being an admin I can check) and personally think G4 does apply as this article doesn't do anything to address the problems - there are certainly no reliable sources discussing the club. Obviously it is up for another admin to decide either way. I think the result will be the same regardless. SmartSE (talk) 22:24, 26 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete Nothing of note, couldn't find anything of real importance about the place. After some hard digging I found that it's dj did a gig at a regionally popular music festival a few years ago, but that's the most exciting thing. Any disagreements?
