List of Golf Courses in Jacksonville, Florida

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Lack of notability for WP. The article relies solely on one source and is liable to going out of date as existing golf courses close or amend their membership policy, or new ones open. TBM10 (talk) 18:10, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep – Per Wikipedia is not a directory, the article's inclusion on Wikipedia is appropriate, as the article has an organized focus and is not, per Wikipedia directory guidelines, like "Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics". The article passes all eight points of WP:NOTDIR. Furthermore, the article can also serve to promote the creation of new articles for notable golf courses.

 * Comment – The article also has several links to notable articles, which further qualifies the article as being functional and notable as a list article. Northamerica1000 (talk) 02:55, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Only one of which is about "a golf course", the others being larger establishments that incorporate golf courses with other facilities, and which are presumably notable for various reasons unrelated to the subject of this list.--Pontificalibus (talk) 15:24, 7 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete certainly if more than half were notable, it would be worthwhile for such a list. but many of these are probably quite small non notable courses. the fact that you can't use this list for much more than working out these small courses exist. there are probably 10,000s of golf courses worldwide, are we going to create lists for each geographic region they're in?

 * Keep but trim out ALL nonlinked courses until a reference is found. Golf courses are fairly notable chunks of land, not as permanent as cemeteries, but similar to most parks, not likely to go away soon, and notable for having existed if they do go away.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:13, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete OR Purge non-notable entries fails WP:GNG in it's current state. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:02, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a directory. Agree with Pontificalibus, if this is allowed, the sky is the limit! -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 13:03, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
