Kosher Gym

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable gym. Members got unhappy when forced to pay for extras, and when gym was sold to a corporate gym company. One of many niche gyms that ended up not making money and having to close/sell to new owners. Caffeyw (talk) 12:46, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. According to the (poorly organized) sources, the issues was covered in New York Post. If there was more media coverage, this could make this notable. There is also this mention in a book:, through it appears to be the only one. It may lead to a better source, though. This may bear further investigation; perhaps ping WikiProject New York?.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:37, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. I wasn't able to see the source used for the kerfuffle over class fees, but checked the rest and added the New York Times, New York magazine, the Jewish Daily Forward, plus the Gothamist and Racked NY and a mention in the Village Voice. There's probably more - I haven't searched on the name of the acquiring company. Passes general notability, and I've rewritten it to be tighter while adding details from the sources. However, Google news also has numerous hits for a Kosher Gym in Jerusalem, which now uses the former web address of this club, so at some point disambiguation may be necessary.Yngvadottir (talk) 17:10, 15 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. WP:GNG is met for this brand new article. Improved article now serves the project. User:Yngvadottir is to be congratulated for building content. To the nominator, I encourage you to read and show understanding of WP:WIP and WP:BEFORE prior to nominating new articles for deletion.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 08:20, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep The article did not have adequate evidence of notability when submitted, bt the added references here are sufficient to do so. I strongly advise the nom to follow WP:Deletion Policy, that deletion is the last alternative, and it is preferable to search for references before requested deletion . The criterion for deletion is unreferenceable, not unreferenced. This sort of nomination is unconstructive, and we've been seeing too many of them. Perhaps we should try again to make WP:BEFORE required, not merely good practice.  DGG ( talk ) 19:29, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
